Are you interested in connecting with others who are facing the same kinds of struggles as you?

Maybe you’re interested in therapy but are nervous about jumping into one-on-one sessions, or you want to take what you’ve learned in individual therapy to the next level.

If so, a group might be a great fit for you!

Many people are relieved when they talk to others and realize they’re not alone in what they’re going through. They also enjoy hearing different people’s perspectives and hearing how others cope with similar problems. Groups can provide a great system of support, feedback, and accountability for learning and practicing new skills, too.

What will I get out of attending a group?
  • You discover you are not alone.
    When in individual therapy, your therapist will not share how they cope with the same issues you are struggling with, but in group, members do share their experiences. You’ll be able to connect with others who are going through the same things you are.
  • You gain problem solving skills.
    You can hear what others have tried and what has worked for them and what has not. You are able to offer the other members feedback based on your own experiences as well as receive feedback on issues you are struggling with.
  • You develop awareness.
    Group members may bring up issues that strike a chord with you which you might not have been aware or of known how to bring up yourself. This may enable you to explore your issues at a deeper level.
  • You give and receive feedback.
    We often worry about what others think of us or how we come across in social interactions. In group, you are given feedback in a respectful, gentle way, with the assistance of a therapist. You’re able to hear and then, use this feedback to help you have more fulfilling interpersonal relationships and better understand what usually gets in the way.
What is the process of joining a group?
Before you join a group, you’ll want to talk to the therapist leading the group to figure out whether it’s a good fit. During a short initial consultation (usually about 20 minutes), you’ll answer some questions about your personal goals and reasons for wanting to join, and the therapist will talk to you about the focus and expectations for the specific group you’re interested in.

What is a support group like?
Groups usually meet weekly for approximately 45-55 minutes, either online through secure video teleconferencing software or in person at our therapy office. Our groups usually have anywhere from 2 to 12 participants, not counting the therapist. At the first session, you will spend some time discussing group culture and expectations, introducing yourself, and talking about what you hope to get out of participating. For the rest of the sessions, there may be a weekly theme or activity, but most of the time is spent on participants sharing their experiences with each other and getting ideas, support, and feedback.

What is group therapy like?
Group therapy is like a support group, but it’s usually more directive and has a pre-defined focus, like anger management, emotional regulation, or social skills. The therapist leading the group provides targeted instruction, guidance, and feedback in learning and practicing a specific set of skills or strategies to address the issue. They may also observe, comment on, and give feedback about what’s going on among group members as a way to enhance participants’ self-awareness, emotional processing, and interpersonal skills.
