Support Groups Online and in Boulder

At Something Wild Wellness, we know that group therapy can be a powerful tool for healing and personal growth. Whether you’re in Boulder or joining us online from anywhere in Colorado, our groups are here to offer support, connection, and a fresh perspective.

Why Choose Group Therapy?

Group therapy offers unique and valuable benefits that can complement individual therapy and enhance your overall therapeutic experience. Here’s why group therapy might be a great choice for you:

Community and Connection: Group therapy fosters a sense of belonging and helps reduce feelings of isolation. By sharing your experiences with others who have similar struggles, you gain emotional support and understanding from peers who truly get what you’re going through.

Shared Wisdom: Hearing others’ perspectives and experiences can provide new insights and strategies that you might not encounter in individual therapy. It’s a space where learning happens not just from the therapist, but from fellow group members as well.

Cost-Effective: Group therapy is generally more affordable than one-on-one sessions, making it a practical option for ongoing support without compromising on quality.

Skill Building: In a group setting, you can practice and refine your communication skills, learn how to relate to others in a healthy way, and receive constructive feedback from both the therapist and group members.

Support and Accountability: Being part of a group means you have a built-in support network. The shared commitment to personal growth and group goals provides motivation and accountability to stay engaged in your journey.

Diverse Perspectives: The group setting exposes you to a variety of viewpoints and coping mechanisms, helping you find new ways to approach your own challenges.

Safe Space for Vulnerability: Group therapy creates a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings, knowing that others are there to listen and offer support.

Choosing group therapy can be a powerful step towards healing and personal growth, offering both the support of a community and the expertise of a trained therapist.

Group Therapy FAQS

1. How is group therapy different from individual therapy?
In individual therapy, you receive one-on-one attention from a therapist, focusing specifically on your personal issues. Group therapy involves sharing and learning within a group setting, providing multiple perspectives and communal support. Both methods have their unique benefits and can often complement each other.

2. Who can benefit from group therapy?
Group therapy is beneficial for anyone dealing with common issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or specific conditions like high-conflict divorce or narcissistic abuse. It’s especially useful for those seeking support from others with similar experiences.

3. How many people are in a group therapy session?
Groups typically consist of 6 to 12 members. This size allows for meaningful interaction and support while maintaining a manageable group dynamic.

4. How long does a group therapy session last?
Each group therapy session generally lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. The exact duration can vary depending on the group’s focus and structure.

5. How often do group therapy sessions meet?
Groups usually meet once a week, though some may meet more frequently. The schedule is set based on the group’s needs and availability.

6. Is group therapy confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is a key component of group therapy. All members are expected to respect the privacy of their fellow participants, and therapists are bound by professional confidentiality standards.

7. Can I join a group therapy session at any time?
It depends on the type of group. Some groups are open, allowing new members to join at any time, while others are closed, meaning that no new members are admitted once the group has started.

8. What if I’m not comfortable sharing in a group?
It’s perfectly okay if you’re not ready to share right away. Group therapy is a safe and supportive space, and you can participate at your own pace. You can listen and observe until you feel comfortable sharing.

9. How do I know if group therapy is right for me?
Group therapy can be a good fit if you’re looking for support from others with similar experiences, enjoy learning from diverse perspectives, and are comfortable with the group setting. If you’re unsure, speaking with a therapist can help you decide if group therapy meets your needs.
