A conversation with the group facilitator will be part of getting started. This is an opportunity to discuss your needs, ask questions, and understand what participation involves.

3. Prepare to participate.

Before beginning, you will receive the relevant schedule, payment information, paperwork, and program expectations.

Why Group Therapy?

Joining a group of people you do not know can feel intimidating at first, but group therapy can offer something individual therapy cannot: the opportunity to connect with others who may understand parts of what you are experiencing.

Group members can offer encouragement, perspective, and a sense of accountability. Hearing how others approach similar challenges can also help you discover new ways of thinking, coping, and responding.

Perhaps most importantly, group therapy can remind you that you are not alone. Different backgrounds and perspectives can create opportunities for learning, connection, and meaningful support.

You Do Not Have to Figure It Out Alone.

Whether you are looking for connection, practical parenting tools, or support for your teen or young adult, we welcome your questions.
