Groups

Group therapy is a powerful therapeutic experience! It is a unique opportunity to feel less alone and learn from others who understand what you are feeling, as well as leverage the natural healing process that comes from connection.

Most group therapy participants find that group sessions maximize the positive benefits they are accruing from individual sessions, but you do not have to be seeing an individual therapist in our practice in order to participate in a group.

Health insurance covers participation in group therapy, and we are in network with most major insurance plans! Read more about various group counseling opportunities below. To sign up, complete the interest form linked below for the group you would like to join, or call (516) 256-9523.
