Group Psychotherapy
Group Psychotherapy
Dr. Marquardt offers two psychotherapy telehealth groups, both designed to provide high-quality, structured mental health treatment. These two groups are non-overlapping and each feature unique content.
Group therapy offers several benefits: 1) It can be more affordable, 2) provides longer sessions than individual therapy, and 3) allows participants to learn from others who share similar struggles. Each session follows a structured plan with personalized at-home assignments help patients apply what they learn to their daily lives.
Group therapy can be added into your existing mental health treatment. In other words, you would not have to stop your ongoing individual psychotherapy relationship with an outside provider.

Living well is hard and most people never receive an instruction manual for how to do it. We are left to guess our way through life's challenges. The Blueprint for Living Group aims to take the mystery out of navigating our lives.
This comprehensive program equips people with practical tools for managing emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. The skills are based on DBT treatment materials, a proven approach that has helped many people lead more balanced lives. While this group is not a substitute for the more intensive full-model DBT treatment, it offers a helpful introduction to some of the core principles of DBT.
Patients leave treatment with printed handouts and at-home assignments to continue applying the skills going forward.
Rekindling Joy is a telehealth skills group for adults (ages 18+) based on positive affect treatment and cognitive behavioral therapy approaches for depression.
Content areas: behavioral activation.
Duration: 1 module, 9 weeks total.
Session length: 90-120 minutes.
For those experiencing chronic depression, activities and relationships that once brought joy may now feel distant or unsatisfying. It can feel overwhelming to break the cycle of withdrawal. Positive affect treatment (also known as behavioral activation) helps people more purposefully create space for positive emotions rather than waiting for them to happen on accident. It helps people notice and savor small moments of joy and connection, slowly rebuilding the capacity for positive feelings.
In a group setting, patients with similar experiences work together to learn these skills, celebrate progress, and reengage with life. This group content may be effectively paired with other treatments for "treatment-resistant" depression such as ECT, rTMS, and ketamine.
Patients leave treatment with printed handouts and at-home assignments to continue applying the skills going forward.
