Virtual Therapy Groups

During the spread of Covid-19, we found virtual groups to be a great option for increasing accessibility to group therapy services. We continue to utilize this technology so that you can still access high-quality therapy services from the comfort of your home. This includes:

• The use of a secure, HIPAA-compliant video-conferencing platform.

• Video-conferencing sessions can be attended via desktops, laptops, tablets, or smartphones.

• Electronic handouts available to you via email and our secure Client Portal.

• The use of tools such as Screen Sharing

• For DBT Groups, the use of Diary Card apps that allow you to share Diary Card entries with the group leader or your individual therapist, and offer support for Skills practice in between group sessions.

Benefits of Group Therapy

Many people are often hesitant to participate in Group Therapy services, preferring one-on-one, individual therapy instead. Some aspects of treatment are best done in a group, though. Some benefits of Group Therapy include:

• You get to see that other people, just like you, are struggling with similar problems, and may not feel so alone.

• Hearing how other people have successfully applied new skills can give you ideas for how to do so in your own life.

• It gives you the opportunity to get feedback and encouragement from a wider range of people.

• You get to practice skills with people who are also interested in and committed to growing in the same way.
