Join a Group Therapy Session

Let's thrive, not just survive! Join our group sessions and experience the transformative benefits of shared experiences, mutual support, and personal growth.

Support from Peers

Group counseling allows individuals to connect with others who may be experiencing similar challenges. This creates a strong support system within the group, as members can offer each other empathy, understanding, and advice.

Increased Self-Awareness

Through sharing and listening to others' stories, individuals can gain a better understanding of their own thoughts and emotions. This self-awareness can lead to personal growth and positive changes in behavior.

FAQs

FAQs about Group Counseling at Overcomers

What are the rules for group counseling?

Think of them as the “good vibes only” guidelines: keep what’s shared confidential, listen with empathy, show up for yourself and others, and give everyone space to speak. Respect and honesty are the foundation of every breakthrough.

What is the main goal of group therapy?

The main goal is connection and growth. In group therapy, you learn you’re not alone, gain fresh perspectives, and build coping skills that actually stick. It’s about healing together—because sometimes, strength grows best in community.

What is the meaning of group counseling?

Group counseling is like having your own personal support squad. It’s a safe space where people with shared challenges come together to talk, learn, and grow—guided by a licensed therapist who helps keep the conversation supportive and meaningful.

What if I have more questions about Group Therapy?

Please contact the group facilitator listed below if you have specific questions about DBT or the group itself. If you have other questions, please contact scheduling. FYI, the cost is listed as $30 per group session because most insurances do not cover group therapy, and if they do, the copay is usually around $30 anyway. However, Medicaid does pay for groups with no copay!

What does group therapy look like?

During the first hour of the group, clients are encouraged to share their efforts to use DBT skills over the past week. No one is forced to share, though you might find that you benefit more from the group if you're courageous enough to share. You will receive empathy, validation, support, encouragement, and coaching from peers and the group facilitator. The second hour of the group is devoted to learning a new skill using DBT handouts (found in the PDF you will receive). You will be asked to practice the skill over the next week using a worksheet (also found in the PDF). No one will be shamed for not completing worksheets, though keep in mind that you will not get much out of the group if you don't practice the skills you're learning. Some people (who loathe worksheets) benefit from practicing skills and journaling about their experiences.

Summary
Across hundreds of client reviews, one theme comes through again and again: people feel truly heard here. Clients describe finally finding a therapist who understood them, gaining real tools for anxiety, trauma, and anger management, and walking away from sessions feeling lighter and more hopeful. Many say Overcomers was the first place therapy actually felt like the right fit — a space to be met with warmth, patience, and genuine care on the path to becoming who they're meant to be.
