Group Therapy
There's a particular kind of relief that comes from sitting in a room with people who genuinely understand what you're going through — not because you explained it perfectly, but because they've lived something similar. That's the power group therapy offers, and it's why it remains one of the most researched and effective forms of treatment we provide.
Group therapy isn't a support group where people simply take turns talking. It's a structured, clinically facilitated treatment led by a trained therapist, built around a specific focus — whether that's processing grief, building skills for anxiety and depression, working through relationship patterns, or supporting recovery. Groups typically run for a set number of weeks with a consistent group of members, which allows real trust and momentum to build over time.
You can attend any of our groups either in-person or virtually. Call today and we'll help you find the group that's right for you.
We have groups starting on the 15th of every month. We even wrote our own workbook. What REALLY happens in group therapy it’s what you think.
Prime: Leading in Group Therapy
Decades of research point to group therapy being as effective as individual therapy for many conditions, with an added benefit individual sessions can't replicate: the experience of being understood by peers, receiving feedback from multiple perspectives, and practicing new relational skills in real time with other people rather than just discussing them.
Our groups are organized around specific themes and needs, which may include process-oriented groups for general emotional support, DBT skills groups, grief and loss groups, anxiety and depression support groups, and groups focused on relationship and attachment patterns. Each group is capped at a manageable size and led by a licensed clinician trained in group facilitation, ensuring the space stays safe, structured, and genuinely useful rather than chaotic or dominated by any one voice.
The Groups We Offer
Physical Space Matters for Group Work
Group therapy asks something of you that individual therapy doesn't — it asks you to be seen by other people, sometimes while discussing hard things. We've designed our group rooms with that in mind: comfortable circular seating that puts everyone on equal footing, warm lighting, sound-insulated walls for privacy, and a layout that feels intentionally different from a sterile conference room. Clients consistently tell us that the physical environment itself helps them feel safer opening up faster than they expected to.
We recognize that coordinating a consistent weekly time to come into an office is genuinely harder for group members than for individual clients, so we offer virtual group sessions as an option alongside our in-person groups. Our telehealth groups use secure, HIPAA-compliant video platforms with the same structured facilitation and confidentiality standards as our in-person sessions. Some of our groups run as hybrid cohorts, and others are fully virtual — your intake conversation will help match you to the group and format that works for your schedule and comfort level.
Telehealth Group Options
Every client interested in group therapy completes a brief screening conversation with a clinician first. This isn't a barrier — it's how we make sure a given group is the right fit for you, and that you're a good fit for the group's current composition and stage. Confidentiality agreements are reviewed and signed by all members before a group begins, and your individual therapist (if you have one) can coordinate with your group facilitator, with your consent, to keep your care connected.
What to Expect Before Joining a Group
Frequently Asked Questions
Is group therapy less effective than individual therapy?
No — research consistently shows group therapy is comparably effective to individual therapy for many concerns, including depression, anxiety, and grief, while offering peer connection individual sessions can't provide.
Will I have to share personal details in front of everyone right away?
No. You share at your own pace. Most members find that comfort builds naturally over the first few sessions as trust develops within the group.
Can I do group therapy alongside individual therapy?
Yes, and many clients find this combination especially effective. With your consent, your individual therapist and group facilitator can coordinate to support your overall treatment goals.
Are virtual groups as effective as in-person groups?
Virtual groups can be highly effective, particularly for skills-based groups like DBT. Some clients prefer the added connection of our in-person space for process-oriented work — our intake team can help you decide what fits best.
Weekly DBT Groups
The outpatient DBT groups we've designed are more than just sessions—they’re supportive spaces where real growth happens. You’ll connect with others who are navigating similar challenges, while learning practical skills you can actually use in your day-to-day life.
In each group, we help you apply the core principles of DBT in a way that fits your goals, priorities, and values. You’ll build skills across the four key areas—Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, Mindfulness, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. You'll learn how to handle tough moments, understand your emotions, stay present, and improve your relationships.
Along the way, we focus on finding balance (the “middle path”) and increasing self-awareness, so you’re not just reacting—you’re responding with intention. You’ll also receive a comprehensive skills binder filled with guides and worksheets to support your progress both in and outside of sessions.
Our groups are tailored by age and experience level, so you’ll be matched with one that truly fits where you are in life. Wherever you’re starting from, we’ll meet you there—and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
