Kevin Riley, LCSW [social worker; Corvallis]. 541.231.7538; https://www.cedartreewellness.com/offerings. He has historically offered group therapy. His website states:
"Group therapy is a dynamic, transformational modality. There is a unique and powerful energy that comes from meeting with a small group of fellow seekers with the collective intention of connecting, learning, and growing. The groups that I run are vibrant endeavors with deep emotional exploration, good humor and skillful navigation of conflict and resolution. My groups meet weekly or monthly and include regular “intensive” sessions. These “intensives” are ½ day to full weekend events where we deepen the work using somatic exercises, psycho-drama, expressive art, the natural world and more."
