Group Therapy

Group therapy is one of the most-researched and most-underused forms of mental health care. Decades of evidence show it as effective as individual therapy for many conditions — and for some experiences, more so. There are things that only happen in a room of people who understand without needing the long backstory.

A small group of adults sitting in a circle in a softly lit therapy session.

Our groups are small (typically 6–10 members), led by a licensed clinician, and structured around a clear focus: anxiety, social anxiety, trauma, women's process, men's process, life transitions. Members are screened in advance so the room is right for everyone in it.

What a session looks like

Most groups meet weekly for 75–90 minutes, with a defined arc — sometimes a closed cohort over 12–16 weeks, sometimes an open-ended group with rolling membership. Confidentiality is the foundation; we go over the agreements carefully before anyone starts.

You don't have to talk in week one. Or week two. People share at their own pace. The clinician keeps the room held — what gets said, what gets explored, what stays private — so the group stays a contained, useful place.

What it can help with

This format is one of several we use across these areas:

The first conversation is the smallest version of starting. Our healthcare coordinator answers questions, checks your insurance, and helps you find a clinician who fits — including by language. No commitment, no pressure.
