Mental Health Group Therapy – Healing Together in a World That Often Divides

Written by

In the past few years, our mental health has been tested in unprecedented ways. The pandemic, social isolation, collective grief, and ongoing uncertainty have left many of us carrying emotional burdens in silence. But one thing remains true: healing happens faster, deeper, and more authentically when we are not alone.

That’s the beauty of mental health group therapy—a space where your story is heard, your feelings are validated, and your healing becomes part of something greater than yourself.

As someone who has practiced therapy for over 30 years—and who has also lived through profound personal grief—I’ve come to believe that group therapy isn’t just a treatment model. It’s a form of human connection that many of us desperately need.

What Is Mental Health Group Therapy?

Mental health group therapy brings together individuals who are experiencing similar emotional challenges—whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or life transitions—under the guidance of a trained therapist. Unlike individual therapy, group sessions allow you to both receive and offer insight.

In my practice, I structure groups around specific emotional themes. Some of my groups are open-ended (such as general support for anxiety), while others follow a structured curriculum like cognitive-behavioral therapy or mindfulness-based stress reduction

The Benefits of Mental Health Group Therapy

1. You’ll realize you’re not alone.

Many clients come into therapy thinking they’re the only ones who feel overwhelmed, ashamed, or lost. Group therapy shatters that myth. Just hearing someone else say, “I’ve felt that too,” can be incredibly relieving.

2. You’ll learn new coping tools.

In group, you don’t just talk—you also learn. Whether it’s grounding techniques for panic attacks or journaling prompts for grief, you’ll walk away with real tools that help you cope better between sessions.

3. You’ll grow in self-awareness and empathy.

As you listen to others, reflect on your own reactions, and receive feedback, you’ll start to understand yourself in deeper ways. That’s when real transformation begins.

What Makes My Approach Unique

I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience into the therapy space. After losing my brother, I realized that grief doesn’t just touch the mind—it reshapes the soul. I’ve trained extensively in grief counseling, trauma recovery, and mindfulness, and I bring all of these into my mental health group therapy sessions.

My groups are safe, structured, and nurturing. Whether you’re someone who’s new to therapy or someone who’s returning after a difficult period, you’re welcome here—exactly as you are

Who Should Consider Joining?

  • Adults struggling with grief or prolonged sadness
  • People navigating anxiety, panic, or social disconnection
  • Anyone going through a life transition—divorce, loss, relocation, retirement
  • Those dealing with pandemic-related stress or emotional burnout

Ready to Take the First Step?

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to begin healing, group therapy might be the gentle yet powerful starting point you’ve been looking for.

I offer online mental health group therapy options that allow you to join from the comfort of home while connecting with others who truly understand.

Because healing doesn’t mean doing it alone. It means allowing others in.
