Understanding the Problem:
Life can sometimes feel like an emotional whirlwind—leaving you isolated, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break. Whether it’s the pain of divorce, anxiety from life transitions, or the silent weight of past trauma, it’s easy to feel like you’re the only one struggling. But you’re not. Many people feel like they’re spinning their wheels, trying to make lasting changes but falling back into the same emotional ruts. Individual therapy helps—but group therapy offers something powerful: connection and shared growth. When you’re surrounded by others who understand your pain, healing becomes not just possible, it becomes more powerful.
Common Struggles That Lead to Group Therapy
- Feeling Alone in Your Struggles
Many people come to group therapy feeling like their emotions are “too much” or “not enough.” Whether it’s grief, shame, self-doubt, or anxiety, the thought of sharing it feels terrifying. Being surrounded by others with similar stories can dissolve that fear. Suddenly, you’re not alone. You hear your thoughts in someone else’s words, and something inside softens. That’s when the healing begins.
- Struggles with Boundaries and Self-Worth
If you grew up in a home where your needs were minimized or ignored, you may find yourself saying yes when you mean no or apologizing for simply existing. Group therapy gives you a space to recognize how these patterns formed and how to break them. Through shared experiences and feedback, you learn what healthy boundaries look like, and slowly, self-worth begins to rebuild.
- Difficulty Trusting Others or Being Vulnerable
Trust is often broken in relationships, and it makes future connections feel risky. In group therapy, trust is gently restored through a safe, non-judgmental environment. Over time, you learn to speak honestly, hold space for others, and receive empathy without fear. Vulnerability becomes strength, not weakness.
The Solution
Group therapy offers a structured, therapist-led environment where individuals grow by listening, sharing, and supporting one another. Each session builds emotional awareness, relational skills, and self-compassion all while fostering a strong sense of community.
How It Works
Group therapy sessions typically include 6–15 participants and are held weekly. Each group is curated around shared themes, whether that’s grief, divorce recovery, anxiety, or self-esteem. Sessions are led by a licensed therapist who provides a safe container for open dialogue, reflection, and emotional exploration. Members are encouraged to speak openly but never forced. Over time, the group builds trust, becoming a source of both challenge and support. You’ll gain insight not only from the therapist but from your peers, who often mirror parts of your own journey. The group evolves into a living example of what healthy connection, boundaries, and emotional safety look like. Progress happens both internally and externally, and you leave each session feeling seen, supported, and inspired to grow.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is group therapy confidential?
Yes. Every group member signs a confidentiality agreement. What’s shared in the group stays in the group. I also set clear ground rules to create and maintain a safe, respectful space. - What if I’m shy or uncomfortable sharing?
That’s totally okay. Many people feel nervous at first. You’ll never be forced to speak—you can start by just listening. Over time, most participants feel more comfortable opening up as trust builds. - How do I know if group therapy is right for me?
If you feel stuck, alone, or like no one understands what you’re going through, group therapy can offer support, perspective, and growth in a way that’s hard to replicate elsewhere. It’s especially helpful for those wanting to improve relationships, process emotions, or gain new insights. - How much does it cost and how long does it last?
Sessions are held weekly and last 60–90 minutes. Group series typically run for 5–12 weeks, depending on the group’s focus. Prices vary, and sliding scale options may be available. Reach out for details and a free consultation.
