Welcome to IGP

Welcome to Innovative Group Psychotherapy, a collaborative group practice where therapy is approached much like creating a piece of art. The canvas of your life already holds layers of experience, emotion, and memory, and our therapists work alongside you with curiosity and care to help these pieces come into focus. Rather than painting the picture for you, we offer thoughtful guidance and evidence-based support as you discover new meaning and possibilities. Here, you do not have to work on the canvas of your life alone.

Program Piloted with Dave Grohl in 2015

It all started when Dr. Genzel-Derman developed Sonic Teens in 2015, at the Child and Family Guidance Center, to facilitate healing in teens. Dr. Genzel-Derman piloted this phenomenally successful program with 15-time Grammy winning singer/songwriter and 2-time Emmy winning director, Dave Grohl (of the Foo Fighters and formerly Nirvana) who served as a mentor to the teens. Recognizing the success of this method of combining therapy, the arts and mentorship, Innovative Group Psychotherapy (IGP) was born.
