Stress & burnout
Adults whose work or caregiving has been running too hot for too long.
Our specialty
Group therapy.
The format with the most evidence behind it for stress, burnout, and the loneliness of running on empty — and the one most of our clinicians spend most of their week leading.
- Weekly 75–90 min
- 6–10 adults
- In-person or video
- Most insurance
What it actually is.
Group therapy is a small, ongoing membership of six to ten adults who meet weekly at the same time, in the same room (or video room), with the same clinician. Most of our groups run 90 minutes. Most of our members stay six to twelve months — long enough that something settles.
It is not a workshop. It is not a class. There is no curriculum. The work is done in the room — listening, recognizing, being recognized, and slowly, mutually, getting more honest about your own life.
Inside the room
What a session looks like.
You arrive. People say hello. The clinician opens the room with a brief check-in — sometimes a question, sometimes silence. Whoever has something they want to bring brings it. The group responds — not with advice, mostly, but with their own recognition, and sometimes a real challenge.
You'll talk when you want to. You'll listen the rest of the time. Both are how the work happens.
Why this format
Why it works for stress and burnout.
The first thing burnout does is make you feel alone in it — even when you're surrounded by people doing the same thing. Group is the cleanest, fastest correction to that feeling.
Empirically, group therapy is at least as effective as individual therapy for many concerns, and more effective for some — particularly anything where isolation is part of the problem.
The American Psychological Association recognizes group therapy as a primary modality, not a fallback.— On the evidence base
Who tends to come in
Group is for people who want company in the work.
Not in crisis, but not okay
People who suspect they need help but have been waiting to "earn it."
Loneliness in the middle of a life
Anyone whose isolation has quietly become part of the problem.
A different layer of work
People who've done individual therapy and want what only a group can teach.
First-time clients
People who'd rather not start in the spotlight of a one-on-one room.
Stepping down from IOP
A steady weekly anchor as the rest of life ramps back up.
First step
Schedule a fit conversation.
A 60-minute first session is about whether the format is right for you, not committing to anything. We figure that out together.
