Therapy doesn’t have to happen alone.
Group therapy offers a unique opportunity to explore your inner world in the presence of others — to feel seen, supported, and connected in ways that individual therapy can’t always provide.
Our groups are facilitated by experienced therapists and designed to be safe, structured, and deeply respectful of each person’s pace. While joining a group can feel daunting, many participants discover it becomes one of the most powerful parts of their healing process.
For ACC Sensitive Claims Clients
If you have an approved ACC Sensitive Claim, you are eligible for up to 32 hours of group therapy each year, in addition to your individual sessions.
Group therapy can be used to complement and enrich the work you’re already doing one-on-one with your lead therapist.
These hours are fully funded by ACC — there is no cost to you.
What Our Groups Are Like
We offer a variety of group formats, including:
- Creative and non-verbal groups
- Movement-based and somatic therapies
- Trauma-informed expressive arts therapy
- Support and reflection groups for emotional regulation and connection
These groups are designed to tap into alternative pathways of healing — especially the body, imagination, and relational dynamics — that often aren’t as accessible in traditional talk therapy.
You’ll never be asked to share more than you feel comfortable. We hold strong boundaries around safety, confidentiality, and respect for everyone’s journey.
