Fall 2026: Now Accepting New Clients
Some things are easier to learn with other people in the room. In group therapy you practice new skills with peers who understand, get feedback in real time, and find out you’re not the only one working on this. Our groups are led by licensed clinicians and are billed to insurance like any other therapy service.
