Women in support groups can take their social masks off, express anger and sadness if need be, and reveal all parts of themselves. Being able to open up without fear of being judged or hurting someone they love makes them feel accepted and allows them to begin the healing process. - Lawrence V. Tucker, M.D.

Participating in group therapy can be a truly transformative experience. If you have ever wondered, "Does anyone else feel this way?" or "How do other people get through this?" group therapy is where you find the answers. Maybe you feel alone, and wish you had someone to talk to who truly understands what you are going through. Groups are a safe space to connect with other people who are like you and are struggling with the same challenges you face.
The concept of group therapy is simple: meet and talk to a group of people sharing similar experiences. Yet, there is a lot more to group therapy than people sitting around and talking. A defining factor of group therapy is the therapeutic environment and interventions provided by one or more therapists leading the group. Trained counselors lead groups in a way that
​
1. maintains members' safety
2. fosters discussion that is purposeful and therapeutic for all members of the group
3. guides members through specific activities and interventions that foster catharsis and personal growth
4. closes the group in a way that allows for closure and reflection
​
Research shows that group therapy can be helpful in treating just about any source of psychological disorder or source of emotional distress. Because groups are so effective, there are many types of groups out there, including: support groups, process groups, psychoeducational groups, skill development group, grief groups, and more. If you are not sure what type of group you need, or if group therapy is right for you, talk contact us to a therapist today.

New Teacher Support Group
Please contact us for an upcoming start date/time
-
Many therapists at Her Time are former teachers or school counselors, so we get how difficult it can be to work in the field of education. We think it's the hardest (and potentially most rewarding) job there is! That is why we created this group specifically for teachers in the first five years of the profession. Join this group to meet with other teachers in the same place you are and with group leaders who have been in your shoes! This is a space to share and discuss whatever challenges you face that cause you emotional distress and overwhelm. Teaching is a profession with high burnout, and we are here to help you create systems and learn the coping and self-care skills needed to have a long, fulfilling career.

FAQs - Group Therapy

Commonality refers to the amount of similarity between group members and what they are facing. Elements considered when screening members and developing groups include gender, age, and presenting concern.
​
How long do group sessions last?​
Group sessions last from 1-2 hours long, with an average of 1.5 hours.
​
How often do groups meet?​
Groups typically meet weekly or every other week.
​
How much does it cost?​
Please see our sliding scale rubric. The standard cost per group session is $75 per person per session, but discounts may be available based on financial situation or purchase of a package. A credit card on file is required and will charged at the end of each session attended (unless Medicaid/Medicare benefits will be utilized).
​
Are groups in person or virtual?
Currently, all groups will be held in a virtual, telehealth format only. They will be held via a HIPPA-secure version of Google Meet. Logging into a session is easy! You'll receive a calendar invite from your therapist with the link to join Google Meet. Simply click the button, and you're in.
