"Group members say that group is the highlight of their week. They are so grateful to have a safe and confidential place to share.”
Group Therapy
Men’s, Women’s or Co-Ed Interpersonal Process Groups
Interpersonal process groups bring individuals with different lived experiences and challenges together to connect with others. These groups are as (if not more) effective as individual therapy for an array of symptoms and conditions such as depression, anxiety, grief, divorce, relational issues, self-esteem, life transitions among others.Any issues involving shame, stigma, or feelings of isolation can often be better addressed in group therapy thanks to the stigma reduction and solidarity that people experience in the presence of others. It is an opportunity to be seen, heard, deeply felt and understood and to experience the healing of true intimacy. Discovering that you are not alone in your struggles reduces isolation and shame and creates space for self-exploration and healing. These groups are ongoing, and participants decide for themselves when they are ready to leave the group.
Men’s Groups
Men's Groups are in person weekly sessions to explore and get support for your current challenges, get accountability for your actions and to explore your masculinity and how to be the man you want to be. This is for men who feel alone and want to learn how to connect with others more deeply. Men who feel overworked or resentful at their current life situation and are struggling to take positive steps to a more healthy, whole self.
Women’s Groups
Women's Groups are in person weekly sessions for women who are feeling drained and taxed by the demands of kids/spouse/work/life transitions who need inspiration, accountability and support in navigating how to thrive. Empower yourself with other women to connect with Spirit and to the wisdom within you and within community as you dive into deeper connection with yourself and others.
Co-Ed Groups
Co-Ed Groups are in person weekly sessions made up of men and women. One of the benefits of co-ed group integration in therapy is the differing viewpoints of men and women – because their thought processes are so different, it can be helpful to gain a new perspective when we begin talking about dynamics between male and female family members, or specific issues with romantic relationships. Women and men can easily relate to their specific gender groups, but each may have valuable advice for the other gender. And some men and women relate better to the opposite sex, and we encourage appropriate expression in any way you feel most comfortable.
If you are a believer and would like to do your healing work in a group of fellow believers, we offer interpersonal process groups with the foundation of Christian Spiritual Formation. This allows you to do therapeutic work as you dive deeper into your spiritual development within community. You will indicate this preference on the questionnaire that you complete. If you aren’t interested in this option, we also offer groups without spiritual formation. We have a seat for everyone at Created for Community.
Time Limited Groups
These groups offer the same benefits as interpersonal process groups and are more specifically focused on a single issue such as divorce, grief or anxiety. They are led more directly by the therapist and involve skill building and practices to address the stated issue. They are limited to 12 sessions and participants commit to the full 12 sessions of treatment.

"The best part of being part of a group is you don’t have to do everything alone."
"People grow when they are loved well. If you want to help others heal, love them without an agenda."
"Group therapy is a microcosm of one’s own interpersonal world, and can serve as a social laboratory to experiment with more helpful patterns of engaging with ourselves and with each other."
