Group Therapy

Group therapy at Amend Wellness is an essential part of our comprehensive approach to emotional and mental health care. These sessions provide a space for clients to connect, share, and heal together in a supportive and professional environment. Whether you’re seeking short-term relief or ongoing recovery, group therapy offers both practical tools and emotional understanding to help you move forward with confidence.

Free Support Groups vs. Clinical Support Groups

When it comes to group-based support, there is a distinction between community-led groups and clinical support groups. Both have their unique strengths, but they serve different purposes in the healing process.

Free Support Groups

These are often peer-led gatherings, such as 12-Step programs or community recovery meetings. They are widely accessible and offer a supportive environment where people can share their experiences and receive encouragement from others facing similar challenges. Examples include Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), etc.
While these groups offer camaraderie and mutual support, they do not provide the professional guidance found in clinician-led therapy sessions.

Clinical Support Groups

At Amend Wellness, clinical support groups are led by licensed therapists and designed to address specific emotional and behavioral challenges. These sessions are tailored to the group’s needs, incorporating evidence-based techniques to promote healing and growth. Clinical groups provide:

  • Professional insights and therapeutic interventions.
  • A structured approach to managing emotions, relationships, and behaviors.
  • Tools to address complex mental health concerns with personalized care.

Both types of groups can complement one another, but clinical support groups are particularly beneficial for those seeking focused, therapist-guided care and healing.
