Group Therapy
Group therapy brings people together who are working through similar challenges, creating a supportive environment where you can learn, grow, and heal alongside others. Sharing experiences in a group helps you feel less alone while gaining new perspectives and skills.
At Helix, group therapy is guided by a licensed therapist who provides structure, safety, and direction while allowing space for authentic connection. Groups may focus on areas such as managing anxiety, improving relationships, coping with stress, or building emotional resilience.
Approaches We Use in Groups
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
In groups, CBT helps members recognize unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, while practicing healthier patterns together. Sharing progress and challenges with others makes CBT strategies easier to apply in daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT groups are especially effective because core DBT skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation, and communication are practiced in real time with others. The group itself becomes a safe place to try new skills.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT groups help members focus on living in alignment with their values. Seeing others commit to meaningful actions can provide inspiration and accountability, while normalizing the difficulty of change.
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
In group settings, EFT helps participants notice and process emotions that arise during interactions. Exploring feelings together can reduce shame and increase empathy.
What to Expect
Groups typically meet weekly through secure telehealth sessions. Each group has clear goals and ground rules to ensure confidentiality, respect, and safety. You’ll have the chance to share if you feel comfortable, but there’s never pressure—you can also benefit from simply listening.
