Dr. Lars Stars

Group therapy is more than just a technique—it’s a dynamic, transformative process that requires skill, intuition, and a deep understanding of human connection. My passion for group work stems from years of training and hands-on experience, not just as a facilitator but as a lifelong student of interpersonal dynamics. I’ve studied under leading experts in the field, learning the subtle yet powerful ways that groups foster growth and healing. My approach is rooted in both classical group therapy models and modern, experiential techniques that bring depth and engagement to every session. I believe that the most effective groups are those where facilitators continually refine their craft, which is why I remain committed to ongoing learning, mentorship, and professional development.

Beyond training and experience, my work is driven by a strong belief in the power of diversity and cultural awareness in group settings. Every participant brings their own history, identity, and perspective, and honoring these differences is essential to creating a truly transformative space. My facilitation style balances structure with adaptability, ensuring that each therapist in the group feels seen, heard, and challenged in ways that promote growth. I prioritize a warm, engaging atmosphere where therapists can take risks, explore new skills, and build the confidence needed to lead powerful group experiences. By blending expertise with curiosity, I cultivate a space where both new and experienced therapists can deepen their practice and discover the true potential of group work.
