The FoundationWhat is group therapy?
Group therapy brings together a small group of people facing similar challenges to work through issues in a supportive, confidential setting led by a licensed therapist.
In group sessions, you'll share experiences, learn from others, and practice new skills in a safe community. It's a space where you realize you're not alone, gain fresh perspectives, and develop meaningful connections with people who truly understand what you're going through.

Your Therapy JourneyWhat to expect
Group Structure
Groups typically meet weekly for 60-90 minutes with 4-8 participants. Each group runs for a set number of weeks or is ongoing, depending on the focus and format.
Your Team
Group therapy combines the support of a licensed therapist with the power of shared experiences. You’ll build connections with others who are working through similar challenges in a safe and supportive environment.
Your Participation
You participate at your own comfort level. There's no pressure to share before you're ready, and you can take what you need from each session.
Confidentiality
Everything shared in group remains confidential. All members commit to respecting each other's privacy and creating a safe, judgment-free environment.
Backed By ResearchWhy group therapy works
Universal connection
Hearing others share similar struggles helps you feel less alone. The group shows you that your experiences are valid and that healing is possible.
Multiple perspectives
Group members offer diverse insights and coping strategies you might not have considered. Learning from others' experiences accelerates your own growth.
Scientific backing
Group therapy is extensively researched and proven effective for treating eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and interpersonal challenges. The collective support creates powerful healing.
Common concerns
-
You share only what feels comfortable. Many people start by listening and gradually open up as they build trust with the group. There's never pressure to disclose more than you're ready to.
-
We carefully match participants based on similar experiences, challenges, or goals. While everyone's story is unique, groups are designed around common themes to foster connection and understanding.
-
It depends on the group format. Some groups run for 8-12 weeks with a specific focus, while others are ongoing. You and your therapist will determine what timeline supports your goals best.
