How the process works

  • You’ll fill out a quick form on our “getting started” page and have a brief exchange with our admin team. They will learn more about what group therapy service you are looking for. You may be scheduled for a 30-minute group screening appointment with the group provider.

2.

  • Depending on the group you are joining, there might be a questionnaire packet to complete ahead of your group screening appointment so your provider can prepare. All questionnaires will be sent to you through the patient portal.

3.

  • Group services may begin with an group screening that usually last 30 minutes. Your clinician will talk with you about your current situation, ask you about your history, why you are interested in group therapy, and what your goals are. If the group is a good fit, you will be added to the group roster.

4.

  • Group therapy appointments usually last 60 minutes with the frequency of weekly for around 8-12 weeks. These sessions will be structured depending on the topic of the group. Some groups start with a weekly check-in and review of the previous weeks content. The group therapist will introduce topics and at times lead experiential exercise. You might set specific goals in between group sessions.
