Current Groups at The Juniper Center

Support When You Need It

Group therapy provides a safe and judgment-free environment to discuss shared experiences. Group therapy not only encourages participants to develop socialization skills and communication skills, but it can also help develop self-awareness and active listening skills by interacting with people who have experienced similar challenges.

Depending on the nature of your problem, group therapy can help you or your loved one address challenges and concerns to make positive changes in their life. Meeting with individuals going through similar experiences and struggles can work as a support network and sounding board to help you process, understand, and face the challenges impacting your mental health and happiness.

At The Juniper Center, we cultivate a supportive, safe, judgement free space where you can speak freely about problems with other individuals who are facing similar challenges and obstacles.

What is Group Therapy?

Group therapy is a type of psychotherapy where individuals meet in a therapeutic environment, or via secure Teletherapy, to discuss and process a common problem. Group therapy sessions take place under the guidance of a licensed psychologist who facilitates growth and development through conversation, connection, and growth amongst the individuals assembled.

Groups can range in size, and meet once or twice a week (depending on the specific purpose of the group). There are many different applications for group therapy, including grief counseling, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) support, and drug rehabilitation, to name a few. Typically, group therapy is recommended as part of a larger therapeutic strategy to help encourage sharing, bonding, and coping. For example, group therapy often accompanies individual therapy sessions.

How Can Group Therapy Encourage Growth?

The idea behind a group therapy session is that an individual may establish a better connection and understanding with a person who has shared experience (compared to sharing with a friend, family member, or colleague). Oftentimes, it’s helpful for people in the early stages of coping with a particular challenge or event, such as grief, addiction, or an illness, to meet another person who has endured similar experiences. Sharing, engaging, and listening to other people who have faced similar challenges can encourage hope and healing.

The primary goals of group therapy seek to implement the installation of hope, connection and universality, interpersonal learning, positive communication, and active listening, and growth and healing through shared experiences.

Group therapy can prove beneficial for individuals dealing with:

• Grief
• Abuse
• Divorce
• Anxiety
• Addiction
• PTSD
• Suicide
• Depression
• Anger management
• Eating disorders
• PTSD
• And more
