Group Therapy
Healing doesn’t have to happen alone.
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can hear is: “Me too.”
Group therapy brings people together who are going through similar struggles—anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship issues, trauma, stress, identity questions, or just trying to figure life out. In group, you get support and skills in a safe, confidential space led by experienced therapists.
You don’t have to carry it all by yourself. Group therapy helps you feel seen, understood, and supported—while learning how to cope more effectively.
Why Group Therapy Works
Group therapy offers something individual therapy can’t always provide: Connection. Perspective. Community. Real-life practice.
In group, you can:
- Realize you’re not alone in what you’re feeling
- Learn practical tools for coping and communication
- Hear different perspectives and get real-time feedback
- Practice healthy relationship skills in a safe setting
- Build confidence and self-awareness
- Support others and be supported in return
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about growing—together.
Why Choose Tandem Groups?
Not all therapy groups are created equal. Ours are designed to be supportive, effective, and genuinely life-changing.
At Tandem, our groups are:
- Led by clinicians (not peer-led)
- DBT-informed: a mix of skills and open processing
- Safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental
- Designed for connection + growth
- Age-specific or topic-specific for the best fit
- Ongoing/open (you don’t get “kicked out” after 6 weeks)
- A great standalone option or addition to individual therapy
We blend evidence-based structure with real conversation—so sessions feel supportive, not scripted.
