Group Therapy
Sometimes the most powerful thing in a room isn't the therapist, it's realizing someone else is carrying exactly what you are.
Why attend group therapy?
Group therapy offers a different kind of experience than individual work. Instead of working through things on your own, you’re in a space with others who are navigating similar challenges — which can bring a level of perspective, connection, and accountability that’s hard to replicate one-on-one.
It can be especially helpful if you’re feeling isolated, stuck in patterns that aren’t shifting, or wanting to better understand how you relate to others in real time. Hearing different perspectives, giving and receiving feedback, and noticing how you show up in a group setting can lead to insights and changes that often don’t happen in isolation.
For some, group therapy is a way to build confidence, improve communication, and feel less alone in what they’re experiencing. For others, it’s a more direct way to work through relational patterns, practice new ways of engaging, and move forward with greater clarity and support.

FAQ
-
What is group therapy and how does it work?
Group therapy brings a small number of people together with a therapist to work through shared themes or challenges. Sessions are structured but conversational, and you can participate at your own pace.
-
How is group therapy different from individual therapy?
Group therapy offers the opportunity to hear others’ experiences, recognize shared patterns, and practice relating in real time. Individual therapy is more one-on-one and focused solely on your personal process.
-
Do I have to talk or share personal details?
No. You’re not required to share anything before you’re ready. Many people start by listening, and naturally begin to participate more as they feel comfortable.
-
Is what I share in group therapy confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is an important part of group therapy. All participants are expected to respect each other’s privacy and not share personal information outside the group.
-
Who is group therapy a good fit for?
Group therapy can be helpful for people working through relationships, communication, anxiety, or wanting to feel less alone in their experience. It’s especially useful if you’re open to learning through both your own experience and others’.
-
What if I’m nervous about joining a group?
That’s very common. Most people feel some level of discomfort at first. The group is structured to be respectful and supportive, and it usually becomes easier as you get familiar with the environment.
