Group therapy is a collaborative process that involves sharing experiences and interacting with other participants. It may address concerns related to mental health, emotional functioning, relationships, and coping. Progress depends on many factors, including participation, effort, and external circumstances.  It is important to understand that outcomes cannot be guaranteed. Group therapy may involve discussing difficult or distressing experiences and may evoke strong emotions. At the same time, group therapy may lead to improved coping skills, increased support, enhanced interpersonal understanding, and greater overall well-being.

Participation in group therapy requires mutual respect and appropriate conduct. By participating, you agree to the following:  • Information shared within the group is to remain confidential and not discussed outside of sessions.  • Participants are expected to treat others with respect and avoid judgment, criticism, or harmful behavior.  • Participants are expected to contribute to a safe and supportive group environment.  • Relationships with other group members outside of the group are discouraged while participating, as they may impact the group process.  • Contact between group members outside of sessions is discouraged unless discussed with the group facilitator.

Recording of group sessions by participants is not permitted. This includes audio, video, or screenshots of any kind.

Consistent attendance is important for the effectiveness of group therapy. Repeated absences or inconsistent participation may impact your ability to continue in the group.

Our group therapy services focus on mental health support, skill-building, and emotional growth. Groups may address topics such as stress management, anxiety reduction, emotional regulation, and building healthy relationships.

Yes. We provide group therapy for teens in a supportive environment where young people can discuss challenges such as academic stress, social pressures, anxiety, and emotional well-being. Teen groups help participants build communication skills, confidence, and healthy coping strategies.

Most therapy groups include a small number of participants to ensure everyone has the opportunity to share and receive support. Group sizes typically have a maximum of 8 people, depending on the type of therapy program.

All communication during the course of group therapy is confidential and protected under applicable U.S. privacy laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Information will not be disclosed without your written permission except in situations where disclosure is necessary to prevent harm or is required by law. Disclosure may be required in the following circumstances with or without your permission:  • If there is reason to believe that a minor under the age of 18 years, or a vulnerable adult, is being abused or neglected (mandated reporting).  • If there is reason to believe that you are in immediate and serious danger of harming yourself or someone else.  • As required by court order, subpoena, or other legal process.  • If there are concerns that you are unsafe to operate a motor vehicle, where required under Minnesota law.  • If disclosure is otherwise required or permitted by federal or Minnesota state law.  While clinicians are bound by confidentiality, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed in a group setting. Participants are expected to maintain the privacy of others; however, the practice cannot ensure that all group members will do so.

Group therapy sessions are reserved in advance, and your participation holds a place in the group. As such, full payment for the program is required regardless of attendance, including cancellations made in advance.  No refunds or credits will be provided for missed sessions or withdrawal from the group once registered.

Registration is required, and spaces are limited. A $200.00 deposit is required to confirm your spot and will be applied toward your total session fees.
