Group Interpersonal Therapy
Heal in community.
Group therapy creates a therapeutic container where shared experience becomes the healing agent — reducing isolation, building social skills, and providing peer-based validation that no individual session can replicate.
What it addresses
- Social anxiety & isolation
- Peer relationship difficulties
- Emotion regulation
- Low self-esteem
- Shared trauma experiences
- Transition challenges (school, family, development)
What a session looks like
Groups meet weekly in cohorts of 4–8 participants matched by age and presenting needs. Sessions blend structured skills practice (DBT and CBT-informed techniques) with open processing and peer support. A DNP-supervised therapist facilitates each group. Families receive a brief summary after each session, and individual therapy continues alongside group work for most participants. Cohorts run in 10-week cycles.

The research
"Group therapy produced outcomes equivalent to individual therapy for anxiety and depression, with the added benefit of significantly reduced isolation and improved social functioning at 6-month follow-up." — Burlingame et al., Psychotherapy Research, 2016
