Group Therapy

Group therapy brings together a small number of people working on shared concerns under the guidance of a clinician. Sessions can build skills, reduce isolation, and offer a kind of feedback that is hard to access in individual therapy alone.

• Group Therapy
• Psychotherapy
• Skills Training
• Psychoeducation

What to expect

• A sense of isolation around a concern that others also live with — anxiety, mood, transitions, or stress.
• Interest in skills practice in a shared setting rather than only one-to-one.
• A goal of complementing individual therapy with peer support and structured group work.
• A wish to step toward connection at a careful pace with clinical guidance.

Approaches we use

• Therapist-led groups with a clear structure, shared agreements, and goals reviewed over time.
• Skills-focused groups drawing on CBT, DBT-informed, and acceptance-based approaches when clinically appropriate.
• Process-oriented groups where members give and receive feedback under the clinician's guidance.
• Coordination with individual therapy or medication support when a person is using multiple forms of care.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Who this helps

• Adults working on social anxiety, isolation, or interpersonal patterns.
• People in transitions — new role, new city, recent loss — looking for shared support.
• Individuals already in individual therapy who want a complementary group experience.
• People who want to practice skills with others rather than only on their own.

Frequently asked questions

• Is group therapy appropriate for severe symptoms?

  Group therapy is one form of care, not a substitute for higher-acuity treatment. People with severe symptoms, active safety concerns, or unstable conditions may need individual care, psychiatric evaluation, or higher-level support before or instead of a group.
• Will I have to speak in front of the group?

  Participation expectations vary by group format and by the clinician's design. Many groups support members in finding their own pace; an initial conversation clarifies what participation looks like before a person joins.
• Can I do group therapy and individual therapy at the same time?

  Many people use both. Coordination between the individual clinician and the group leader — when both providers consent — helps keep the work aligned.
