Group Therapy

Yes. Research shows that group therapy is highly effective for concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, identity development, and life transitions. Many people find group therapy uniquely powerful because they receive feedback from multiple perspectives and reduce feelings of isolation.

Most of our therapy groups are intentionally small, typically 6–8 participants. When appropriate, no more than 15. This allows for meaningful connection while ensuring each member has space to participate.

Yes. All participants agree to maintain confidentiality. Sessions are conducted through HIPAA-compliant telehealth platforms to ensure privacy and security.

Yes. We accept major insurance plans for most groups. Many participants only pay their copay or coinsurance amount. We verify your benefits before your first session so there are no surprises.

We offer a cash pay option for most groups. The Queer Men’s Therapy Group, for example, is $60 per session without insurance.

Group therapy may be a strong fit if you:

• Feel isolated or disconnected

• Want to improve relationships

• Struggle with anxiety or depression

• Are open to giving and receiving feedback

• Want a more interactive therapy experience

If you’re unsure, we can schedule a brief consultation to determine fit.

Yes. Many participants combine group therapy with individual therapy. The two formats often complement each other.

Sessions are facilitated by a licensed psychologist. Participants discuss current experiences, relational patterns, emotional reactions, and personal goals. The therapist actively guides discussion, ensures psychological safety, and helps members deepen insight.

That’s completely normal. Many people feel hesitant at first. You are not required to share more than you feel ready to. Over time, most participants find the group becomes one of the safest spaces they have.

Some groups allow rolling admission depending on structure and clinical fit. Others begin as closed groups. We can clarify availability when you inquire.

All groups are currently virtual and available to residents of California, as well as other states, dependant on your Psychologist’s licensure. Sessions are conducted via secure telehealth platforms.
