Connection, Support, and Real-Life Skill Building in a Safe, Therapeutic Environment

Thought Disorders is a core part of our residential mental health program, helping clients connect, express themselves, and build the relational skills needed for long-term success.

Whether you’re working through trauma, depression, anxiety, or personality disorders, group therapy provides the opportunity to practice vulnerability, communication, and empathy in a structured, supportive setting.

What Is Group Therapy

Group therapy unites clients in a shared space, guided by a therapist, to explore emotions and experiences. It offers connection and reminds you that you’re not alone.
