Group Therapy

Support, skills, and connection—delivered in a structured, clinician-led group setting.

Why group therapy helps

Many people benefit from learning coping skills with peers who understand what they are going through. Groups can reduce isolation and provide encouragement.

If a group is recommended, your clinician will explain the focus of the group, expectations, and how it fits into your plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is group therapy?

Group therapy is a structured therapy setting where participants learn skills, share experiences (as comfortable), and receive support from peers and a clinician.

Is group therapy confidential?

Clinicians set expectations for privacy and respectful participation. While the clinic maintains confidentiality, group members are also asked to respect privacy. Your clinician can explain how this works.

Will I have to speak in group?

You can participate at your own pace. Many groups include education and skill-building, and you can share when you feel ready.

How do I join a group?

Call (304) 425-9541 to schedule an evaluation. Your clinician will recommend whether a group setting fits your needs.
