Group Therapy

Adults | Teens | Children

People need people—for initial and continued survival, for socialization, for the pursuit of satisfaction. No one—not the dying, not the outcast, not the mighty—transcends the need for human contact
— Irvin D. Yalom

What is It?

Group therapy is simply a chance to come together with others in a safe, supportive setting. A therapist leads the group, but the real magic happens in the connections you build—sharing experiences and listening to others. Whether you’re an adult, a teen, or a child…realizing you’re not alone is often the most powerful step towards healing.

Groups can look a little different depending on their purpose:

  • Processing groups give you space to talk openly about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. They’re about reflection, sharing, and gaining support from others who truly understand.

  • Support groups bring people together around a common challenge or experience. They’re a place to find encouragement, comfort, and community as you walk through something together.

  • Skills-building groups focus on learning practical tools—like coping strategies, communication skills, or stress management—that you can take into everyday life.

How Does it Help?

There’s something truly special about realizing you’re not alone. In a group, whether for kids, teens, or adults, you get the chance to meet others who understand what you’re going through. You can share your experiences, hear different perspectives, and learn from each other. Being part of a group creates a sense of connection and support that can make challenges feel a little lighter—and help you know that you’re not facing them alone.

Why it Matters

Group therapy is a powerful way to get support and grow while fitting into real life. For many people, it’s easier to commit to because groups usually run for a set number of weeks—so you know the time frame from the start, which makes it easier to balance with a busy schedule.

It’s also often more affordable than traditional one-on-one therapy, which makes it more accessible for many people. In short, group therapy gives you the benefits of professional support, practical tools, and genuine connection, all in a format that’s flexible, affordable, and doable for everyday life.
