I am so thankful for the training I received from Carrie at CSUHN during my MSW internship around group theory and practice. Carrie really helped me see the 'magic' of group therapy as well as the evidence around group intervention. She helped me develop confidence and a passion for treating clients in group therapy settings. Carrie is a very intentional teacher, therapist, and human and her authenticity and vulnerability make her very relatable in a training setting.

Through my supervision with Kylin, I learned how to trust and listen to my instincts, embrace my authentic self, and co-create genuine relationships with my clients. Overcoming my own internal barriers was a key turning point in my training, and I continually look back at the lessons Kylin taught me during this time. I am a more confident and secure therapist thanks to Kylin.

Carrie Haynes has extensive knowledge and experience with group therapy modalities. During her time as the director of group services at the CSU Health Network, she created and ran a group program that averaged 25 therapy groups every semester, covering a wide range of topics and using a wide range of approaches. Whether interpersonal process, skills groups, or anything in between, Carrie created outstanding group curriculum, and provided gold standard training to staff and counseling trainees learning how to effectively facilitate therapy groups. Many therapists who worked and trained at CSU say they owe their group knowledge and skill to the solid and compassionate training they received from Carrie. She is truly a leader in the field of group therapy.

Kylin has been an exceptional supervisor in my journey as a therapist. Her guidance and support have been invaluable, especially in the development of my group facilitation skills. After graduate school, I wasn't confident in my group therapy skills and was looking for support. Kylin adeptly recognized my strengths and skillfully utilized them to enhance my counseling skills within the group context. She has an extensive understanding of group dynamics and guided me with a compassionate, inclusive, and attuned approach. Kylin is dedicated to fostering both professional and personal growth in her supervisees and I highly recommend working with her!

I took a group facilitation seminar with Carrie and she has been one of the most insightful teachers of group process I have had. She really understands what is happening under the surface in interpersonal relationships and group dynamics. From the logistics of filling groups and screening members to the art of handling difficult group situations, Carrie has the expertise needed to create a transformative, healing environment in any type of group. Her style is experiential, not just talking about theory, but living and practicing the work directly. Carrie group instruction is well above the basics taught in most grad programs and I highly recommend her work if you want to be more effective and confident as a group leader.
