Group Therapy
What can I expect from Group Therapy?
Group Therapy is a unique kind of therapy where a group of people who are likely experiencing similar challenges get together to share difficulties and discuss strategies to manage those situations. Group therapy may have a specific focus or may be open to the group to decide the topic. Meetings may always be open to new members or closed once a sign up period is over. Meetings may run indefinitely or for a set period of time.
Group Therapy facilitates giving and receiving support which is proven to boost your overall health. When you feel good about helping someone else, or feel heard yourself, your brain releases dopamine, the “feel good”chemical messenger into your body.
We all need a safe place to talk things out. Group Therapy can be that for people looking to manage a mental health issue or major life change. A big part of the group therapy experience is recognizing that you are not alone, others understand your struggles, and others have made progress with those struggles. Group therapy gives you a voice. Expressing yourself can be healing. Group therapy can help you practice interacting with other people in a safe space. You’ll have an opportunity to lean into feeling accepted by others and to challenge yourself in making your needs known.
The technique used in group therapy sessions depends on the preferences of the therapist or facilitator leading the group. Experiential activities such as art, music, dance or movement therapy are ways to become more aware of yourself and feelings. Journaling and writing exercises are shown to decrease stress. Role playing can improve your ability to empathize and communicate.
Group therapy may be intimidating for some at first, but its value outweighs any initial awkwardness by providing a sounding board and social support.
Group therapy sessions will vary in duration, topics, number of participants, age of participants, and cost. Cost of therapy sessions can be billed through your insurance if there is an existing diagnosis and/or a referral from a provider. Self pay is accepted otherwise.
Our Groups
Men’s Emotional Growth
Many men struggle silently with loneliness, emotional disconnection, relationship difficulties, shame, stress, or a sense that they must carry life’s burdens alone. While individual therapy can be valuable, many of our deepest wounds and patterns develop in relationships—and often heal most powerfully through relationships as well.
This group is designed for men who want more than symptom relief. It is for men seeking greater self-awareness, emotional growth, authentic connection, and healthier relationships.
In this group, members will have opportunities to:
• Develop greater emotional awareness and expression
• Understand recurring relationship patterns
• Build meaningful connections with other men
• Receive support and honest feedback in a respectful environment
• Explore issues related to identity, relationships, fatherhood, purpose, stress, and personal growth
• Practice vulnerability, authenticity, and emotional courage
This is not a lecture-based or advice-focused group. Instead, the group emphasizes meaningful interaction and connection among members. Through these experiences, participants often gain deeper insight into themselves and discover new ways of relating to others.
Group Details:
• 8-week closed group
• Weekly 90-minute sessions
• Limited to 6–8 participants
• Screening interview required prior to enrollment
Healing happens in relationships. This group is designed to help men experience that healing through authentic connection with others.
