View profileOnline group therapy in California
Sometimes it helps most to hear that you're not the only one. Group therapy brings people together for shared support, new perspectives, and practice, guided by a licensed therapist, from wherever you are in California.
Why people choose group therapy
- Connection with others who understand what you're going through.
- New perspectives on your own experience, shared in a supportive setting.
- A place to practice communication and relationship skills with real-time feedback.
- Less isolation and more encouragement along the way.
- A complement to individual therapy.
How groups work
Groups meet by video at a regular time, with a licensed therapist guiding the conversation. Members agree to keep what's shared private, and you decide how much to share and when.
Group offerings and start dates vary. Reach out to ask about current and upcoming groups, and we'll help you find a good fit.
What to expect
Start with a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation so we can talk about your goals and whether a group is a good next step. Sessions are held online, so you can join from a private space at home.
