Unlike the informal, topic-oriented and open structure of the LifeTalk! gatherings, this is a closed, formal, issues-oriented therapy group. Groups normally meet at ten week intervals with a cost of $10 per session and are under the direct supervision of a trained counselor. Please contact Marilyn Livote at 714-534-0862 ext. 323 or email her at marilynl@thecenteroc.org for more details.
