Send me an email at matt@roughwaterspsych.com and we’ll schedule a time to meet over Zoom. In that meeting, we will talk about your goals, go over group expectations, and make sure the group feels like a good fit.

Group therapy is a good fit if you are willing to show up consistently, engage with others, and take small social risks as you feel ready. You don’t need to be outgoing, but you do need to be open to trying new ways of thinking, relating, and communicating. If you’re curious about how you come across in relationships and want a supportive place to grow, group therapy can be a powerful match.

Group therapy may not be a good match if you’re looking for a highly structured, skills-only format or if you prefer one-on-one attention throughout the session. It also requires consistent attendance and a willingness to interact with others. In addition, some clinical situations are not appropriate for a process group, such as active suicidal thoughts or self-harm behaviors, unmanaged substance use, significant aggression, or attitudes or behaviors that could make the space unsafe, such as homophobia or discrimination of any kind.

If you’re unsure, we can talk through your needs during a consultation and decide together whether group or individual therapy would be a better fit.

Absolutely. Many people find that combining individual and group therapy deepens their progress. If you already have an individual therapist, I am happy to collaborate with them as needed.

Groups are private pay, and I’m not able to provide superbills at this time. If you have questions about payment or whether the group is a good fit for you, feel free to reach out and I can help you think through next steps.
