Group Therapy

Clinician-facilitated therapeutic groups for skills, support, recovery and behavior change.

By appointment

Group Therapy brings patients with compatible treatment needs together in a structured therapeutic or psychoeducational environment. Groups may focus on coping skills, addiction recovery, relapse prevention, emotional regulation, behavior change, psychoeducation or other defined treatment goals. Participation should follow appropriate screening for group suitability.

Scope & safety

Group care should be selected because it is clinically appropriate. Patients needing individual, medical or higher-level care should not be placed in a group merely as a substitute.

Relevant FAQ

Common questions

Where should a new patient start?

A new patient can begin with the relevant assessment or Central Intake. The goal is to identify the appropriate service rather than requiring the patient to diagnose the problem independently.

Does Therapy House provide emergency care?

No routine website or outpatient appointment should be presented as emergency hospital care. Acute medical or psychiatric emergencies require the appropriate emergency/hospital service.

Can I book if I am unsure which service I need?

Yes. The website should provide a 'Not sure which service I need' option that routes the visitor to Central Intake rather than forcing a clinical self-selection.

Not sure where to start?

Start with Therapy House Central Intake. We can help identify the appropriate starting point based on your concerns and service needs — you do not need to diagnose yourself.
