Group Counseling for Adults

Getting you out of pain and on to greater health and healing.

We provide various groups that are experiential, educational, therapeutic, and supportive.

Groups provide a safe place for people to come together with others who each have a similar experience or issue. When we connect and lean on each other for support together as a group, we suddenly become stronger, smarter, more courageous, and wiser. This also happens when we share resources, experience, hope, and empathy with and toward each other. These are some of the superpowers of a group. When we share ourselves with others, we are not alone. As we allow people in and invite them to know us even in the midst of our struggles with pain and illness, we allow ourselves to be heard, connected, and cared about.

How do I know if I need therapy, intensive treatment, or if I should go to the hospital?

  It’s important to be an educated consumer of mental health care and to know what is available to you when you need support, help, and care. When a person has a fever, pain, or notices a change within their body, they know to visit the doctor. When someone breaks a bone, it is well-recognized that the emergency room would be the best place to go. However, when a person is experiencing symptoms of depression, how does one determine whether or not the symptoms are severe enough for hospitalization, rather than outpatient therapy? These two can look very different, and when asked what the levels of care are available within the mental health care system, a person can usually be met with crickets. Although the stigma surrounding mental health is decreasing, there is still a lot to learn about mental health, mental health care, and more specifically regarding the levels of care within mental health.

It can be overwhelming to think about what the new semester will bring in terms of school work, teachers, and social interactions.
