Young Adults in Recovery Group

Sign Up

This is a weekly coed group for young adults who are dedicated to being abstinent and mindful in daily recovery. Participants will learn how to transcend various forms of addiction while discovering a new found freedom, integrity, and joy in the now. This group is for young adults to share those experiences in a safe and supportive environment.

In mastering mindful recovery skills, participants can transmigrate out of the realm of Samsara (the circuitous cycle of sobriety and relapse that leads to suffering, pain, and negative consequences).

Topics and Activities Include:

Topics will include:

  • 1. Integrating Acceptance Commitment Therapy (the ACT model) and other mindfulness-based strategies.

  • 2. Implementing value-driven action steps, cognitive flexibility, and present-centered awareness.

  • 3. Coping with life stressors while maintaining sobriety.

  • 4. Learning to love and accept yourself for your own sake and everyone else’s sake.

  • 5. Changing your relationship to self, others, family, and work while sober.

  • 6. Improving your ability to self-regulate, co-regulate, and manage triggers.

Ryan Berardi, AMFT

I am an Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Bachelor’s in Psychology from UC Santa Cruz and a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University. My therapeutic approach is rooted in a person-centered perspective, meaning I believe the relationship between therapist and client is central in supporting the therapeutic process. During my internship with the Santa Clara County drug courts, I worked extensively with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. This experience reinforced for me the importance of approaching every client with empathy, compassion, and non-judgment. In addition, I integrate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns and build tools for emotional regulation.
