Check Out the Therapy Groups at Forward Counseling!

There are many benefits to attending group therapy. It can give you the comfort that you’re not alone in what you’re feeling, and help you relate to others - and yourself - in a healthy way. Some may find it hard to open up to a group of strangers, but it gets easier once you realize they’re often dealing with the same feelings as you. Having a support group can also be great a safety net for when times get rough.

At Forward Counseling, we offer an array of therapy groups, and have something for almost everyone. If you’re interested in joining one, fill out our form here. If you’re not already seeing one of our providers, you will need to do so before joining a group. Every group has a different scheduled time and meets either weekly or bi-weekly. Check out some of the groups we offer below!

Our Expressive Arts Based Trauma Group focuses on teaching coping skills, mindfulness, and approaching trauma from a distance with art and imagination. This approach appears to reduce abreaction and other side effects associated with trauma therapy. We also address disassociation in all of our trauma groups. The adult group meets Wednesdays at 6-7 P.M. and 7-8 P.M., and the teen group meets Wednesdays at 5-6 P.M.

This group can help you through all stages of grief and bereavement with the support from others. The best part is that it’s completely free! Grief Group meets every Saturday at 11 A.M.

The Founders Hour group is for people who are running a startup or family-owned business and are feeling overwhelmed by it all. This group focuses on grounding, centering and focusing techniques so that you can be even more productive than before. Founders Hour group meets every other Tuesday at 9 A.M.
