Current Opportunities
Group Therapy Conferences
May 2-3, 2025 IN-PERSON
and/or May 8-9, 2025 ONLINE
Want to Earn 11 CEUs in a Training That’s Actually Fun, Meaningful, and Personally Transformative?
If you’re a therapist who loves deep, experiential learning (or just wants CEUs that don’t feel like a chore), this is for you.
Join us this May for one (or both) of the Minnesota Group Therapy Conferences—immersive, small-group training where you’ll experience firsthand the power of group therapy. Whether you run groups or work with shame, self-acceptance, body image, disordered eating, or relational trauma, this training will deepen your work and your personal insight in ways that no lecture ever could.
Two Conference Options:
🔹 In-Person: May 2-3, 2025 | Minneapolis, MN (Erik’s Retreat – a boutique hotel run by autistic young adults!)
🔹 Virtual: May 8-9, 2025 | Online via Zoom
- Earn 11 CEUs
- Engage in 9+ hours of real, experiential group work
- Step into a powerful space of self-acceptance & connection
- Network with amazing, like-minded therapists
- Walk away feeling energized—not drained
And if you’re coming to the in-person conference, you’ll also have the option to get a professional headshot—because sometimes the most powerful work we do as therapists is practicing the art of being seen. Here are the photos from the last time Dr. Page did this workshop (early March in San Fransisco at the American Group Psychotherapy Association Conference).
With only 10 spots per conference, space is limited! Don’t miss this chance to train, grow, and connect in a way that truly matters.

Ongoing Online Process-oriented Training Groups for Therapists.
Facilitator: Nate Page, PhD, LP, CGP
These groups are comprised of wonderful group of clinicians from all over North America. Our primary focus is to practice ACTIVATING and ILLUMINATING the here-and-now realities of our interpersonal relationships. The group is ongoing in nature and members anticipate investing 6-18 months (or possibly longer) in this group.
I conduct Pre-Group Meetings with folks that are interested in joining a new training group for therapists. Please fill out a contact form to schedule a pre-group meeting.
The Pre-Group Meeting is a 20-30 minute video conference where you and Nate will discuss your goals and hopes for the group, review norms and expectations, answer any questions you have about the group, and help determine if this group is a good fit.
I plan to start two new online groups for therapists this year:
(1) Tuesdays 12:00-1:30pm (CST) (weekly group)
(2) Wednesdays 4:00-5:30pm (CST) for ADHD Therapists! (weekly group)
You can read full details HERE and schedule a PRE-GROUP MEETING.
You can also watch this video Nate made a couple of years ago where he talks about these groups.

Two-Day Group Intensives
These groups are lead by one or two highly skilled group leaders, and are filled with 6-9 compassionate group members that are dedicated to creating a rich, deep and meaningful process experience. This group intensive is based on the institute model used by the American Group Psychotherapy Association.
After completing your application we will find a time for a 45-minute pre-group interview with the group leader(s) to talk through your goals for group, answer questions you have, and help you determine if this is a good fit.
DESCRIPTION:
Group members are mental health clinicians (and occasionally other helping professionals) that want a process group experience.
This is a relational process group. We will continually activate, illuminate, and process the HERE-AND-NOW dynamics of our relationships together. The content of the group will be driven by group members wants/needs. Themes surrounding attachment styles, relationship concerns, burnout/compassion fatigue, finances and money management/mindsets, impostor syndrome, and other issues related to being a clinician will surface…but that is just the beginning of where this group could go. The group may also decide to create space for consultation and masterminding work as needed. The goal of the group is to immerse ourselves in a process experience while also being able to reflect on this experience in a way that is meaningful to professional development as therapists. This group is similar to an institute experience at an AGPA or affiliate society conference, but it will be ongoing.
This is not a therapy group, yet the boundaries/norms of confidentiality will be observed and members may bring into the group anything that is meaningful to their experience as a therapist and as a human being.
Burnout, Compassion Fatigue & Therapist Well-being
Nate has witnessed the damaging impact of burnout and compassion fatigue among far too many professionals, and has committed much of his career to helping individuals heal from these injuries.
He provides individual and group therapy services for those with clinically diagnosed burnout, and also leads weekend recovery retreat programs to help professionals begin their burnout healing journey. Nate does some organizational consultation to help business leaders assess the causes of burnout within their organizations and discover ways to make improvements.
Over the past three years Nate has delivered customized presentations on burnout to just over 25 different organizations.
To contact Nate about a presentation, retreat, or therapy please schedule a free consultation or shoot him an email at nate@grouptherapycentral.com.
