Therapy Groups

Experience the power of shared healing and collective growth in a supportive community

There's something powerful about not facing your challenges alone. While individual therapy offers personalized support, group therapy provides a unique opportunity to heal and grow alongside others who understand what you're going through. In a therapy group, you're not just receiving support—you're part of a community where everyone contributes to each other's healing.

Group therapy offers more than just shared experiences. It provides perspective, accountability, and the opportunity to practice new skills in real-time with people who truly get it. You witness others' breakthroughs and challenges, learn from different perspectives, and discover that your struggles don't make you broken or alone—they make you human.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, joining a therapy group can offer relief, connection, and lasting change in ways that individual therapy alone cannot provide.

How Group Therapy Works

Therapy groups typically meet weekly for 75-90 minutes with 6-10 members and a licensed therapist facilitating. Each group creates its own culture while following foundational principles of safety, confidentiality, and mutual respect.

Confidentiality

Everything shared in group stays in group. Confidentiality is the foundation that allows members to be vulnerable and honest without fear of judgment outside the room.

Commitment

Regular attendance matters. The group becomes more powerful when members show up consistently, allowing trust and connection to deepen over time.

Active Participation

While you're never forced to share, growth happens through engagement. Members support each other by listening, offering feedback, and sharing their own experiences.

Here-and-Now Focus

While you'll discuss your life outside group, powerful healing happens when you focus on what's happening in the room—your feelings, reactions, and connections with others.

Starting in a Group

Before joining a group, you'll meet individually with the group therapist to discuss your goals, answer questions, and ensure the group is a good fit for your needs. This initial consultation helps you feel prepared and confident about joining.

Most people feel nervous before their first group session—that's completely normal. The therapist and existing members understand and create space for new members to ease in at their own pace.

Is Group Therapy Right for You?

Many people wonder whether group therapy can really help them, especially if they're more introverted or prefer one-on-one support. The truth is that group therapy isn't about being comfortable with groups—it's about being willing to try something that might feel uncomfortable at first.

You don't need to be naturally social or comfortable sharing to benefit from group therapy. In fact, many of the people who benefit most are those who initially felt anxious about joining. The group becomes a safe space to practice the very skills you want to develop—connection, vulnerability, expressing needs, setting boundaries, and receiving support.

Group therapy can work alongside individual therapy or stand alone, depending on your needs and preferences. Some people do both simultaneously, finding that each supports different aspects of their growth. Others move from individual to group therapy when they're ready to apply what they've learned in a community setting.

Finding the Right Group

Not all therapy groups are the same, and finding the right fit matters. During your consultation, we'll discuss your specific needs, preferences, and goals to help you find a group where you'll feel safe, challenged, and supported.

Some questions to consider: Are you looking for open-ended process work or time-limited skills training? Do you prefer a general support group or one focused on a specific issue? Would you feel more comfortable in a gender-specific or mixed-gender group? Do you want long-term community or short-term intensive work?

There's no perfect group, but there's likely a group where you'll find the support, challenge, and connection you need for this season of your life. We'll help you navigate these choices during your consultation.
