Therapy
Therapist-led groups for connection, support, and growth, in person in San Pedro and virtually across California.
Group therapy brings a small number of people together with a trained therapist to work on shared struggles in a supportive setting. So much of what is painful in life, such as anxiety, loss, addiction, or feeling alone, eases when you discover you are not the only one. A well-run group offers something individual therapy cannot: the experience of being understood by people who truly get it, the chance to practice honesty and connection in real time, and the encouragement that comes from watching others move forward. The therapist keeps the group safe, focused, and useful.
Our groups generally fall into a couple of broad types. Because availability changes over time, the best way to find the right fit is to call and ask what is currently running.
An ongoing space to talk openly about what you are going through and to learn from how the group responds in real time.
Support-oriented groups gather people around a shared experience, such as substance use and recovery, so members can work through it together.
A typical group meets at a regular time and includes a handful of members and the therapist. You are never pressured to speak before you are ready, and the therapist makes sure the group stays a place where it feels safe to be honest.

The conversation unfolds with the therapist guiding it, drawing people in gently and keeping the space respectful.
You might share something you are working through, offer support to another member, or simply listen. You are never forced to speak before you are ready.
As confidentiality and care hold week to week, most members find that speaking up and being heard becomes one of the most valuable parts.
Group therapy suits people who want connection alongside their personal work and who find it meaningful to heal in the company of others. If you tend to feel isolated in what you are facing, group can be a powerful counterweight. When you reach out, we can help you decide whether a group, individual work, or both make the most sense for you.
Group pairs well with individual therapy, and many people do both, using each to support the other.
We run groups in person at our San Pedro office and securely online, so you can take part from anywhere in California.
In individual therapy you work one on one with a therapist. In group therapy, a small group meets together with a trained therapist who guides the conversation. You gain the chance to feel understood by others facing similar struggles, to practice relating in real time, and to learn from how others work through things.
You are never forced to share before you are ready. Many people start by mostly listening, and the therapist helps create a safe, respectful space. Over time, most members find that speaking up and being heard is one of the most valuable parts of the experience.
Confidentiality is a core ground rule. The therapist is bound by professional confidentiality, and all members agree to keep what is shared in the room private. This shared agreement is part of what makes the group feel safe.
Our group offerings change over time and may include process groups and groups built around shared experiences such as recovery. Because availability shifts, the best step is to call and ask what is currently running and what would fit you.
