How Group Therapy Works

Group therapy is a foundational component of our programs, used across all levels of care. Whether you’re in early recovery, managing anxiety or depression, or living with co-occurring disorders, group therapy provides a space to process emotions, learn new coping skills, and build a sense of belonging.

Benefits of Group Therapy:

  • Reduces isolation and fosters peer connection
  • Encourages emotional expression and vulnerability
  • Builds communication, empathy, and boundary-setting skills
  • Provides feedback and perspective from others with shared experiences
  • Reinforces healthy behaviors and accountability
  • Teaches practical tools for managing triggers, emotions, and relationships

Group Therapy for Addiction, Mental Health, and Dual Diagnosis

Group therapy is highly adaptable to meet a range of therapeutic needs. Our multiple, daily group sessions offer a place to heal, together:

For Addiction Recovery

Group sessions focus on topics like relapse prevention, managing cravings, rebuilding trust, coping strategies, and strengthening sober support networks. You’ll learn that you’re not alone, and in recovery, you never have to be alone again.

For Mental Health Treatment

Group therapy can help individuals process anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and more. You will benefit from hearing others’ experiences and learning techniques for emotional regulation, mindfulness, and self-compassion.

For Dual Diagnosis

When substance use and mental health challenges co-exist, group therapy offers a holistic, integrated space where clients can work on both. You will learn how addiction and mental health disorders work to perpetuate one another, and work to overcome them together.
