Group Therapy: Connection, Growth, and Support

Group Therapy offered online or in-person at our NYC location in Midtown West/Times Square.

As a practicing social therapist, Ann Green, NP has had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the transformative power of group therapy. This approach brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds, ages, and experiences, offering a dynamic space for growth that goes beyond traditional one-on-one sessions.

With 35+ years of experience, Ann helps people move beyond isolation, deprivatize their struggles, and actively shape their relationships and lives.

Group Therapy provides a unique opportunity to:

  • Build trust and connections and feel less alone in your challenges

  • Gain new perspectives from others

  • Discover your impact on others and their impact on you

  • Become more open with your feelings and get better at sharing them

  • Practice navigating conflicts and difficult emotions in a supportive space

  • Explore new ways of thinking, relating, and growing in real time

  • Experience the healing power of building community

In a cozy NYC studio, a group gathered in a circle places their hands together in the center, symbolizing unity and teamwork. Dressed casually on the wooden floor, their connection exudes warmth and support—like an uplifting therapy session for the soul.

"I'm so glad I went. I found therapy during a personal crisis, but have continued on even in times of feeling better. I think therapy is challenging and for me Ann's approach is compelling and mindful. I probably wouldn't have chosen group therapy for myself, but after giving it earnest effort I've realized it's just what I've needed. I found Ann online as I scrolled for help, and it's turned out so much better that I imagined."

Group Therapy Q&A

As a social therapist, I relate to therapy as a creative process. Creativity is social, we create our lives with others. We don’t have to be confined to dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma as isolated issues; instead, they are part of a larger, shared human experience. By joining a social therapy group, you’re embarking on a journey to create your community that will support your emotional and social development. Our goal isn’t simply to help you cope but to help you thrive through creating an environment where you are accepted as who you are and you are supported to grow into who you are becoming.

Why Consider Group Therapy?

Here are five compelling reasons for joining our group therapy program:

1. You're Not Alone:

Group therapy shows you that your struggles are shared by others, which can be incredibly reassuring. This realization often brings comfort and reduces feelings of loneliness.

2. Fresh Insights:

Hearing how others perceive and tackle problems similar to yours helps you gain new perspectives of your own narrative. It can give you new ideas for addressing your own issues. It's like getting a variety of consultants for the price of one.

3. Accountability and Motivation:

Seeing others make progress in group therapy is inspiring. Having relationships that you’re accountable to helps you stay on course with your own journey.

4. Safe Environment to Practice:

Group therapy is a live space to improve communication and interpersonal skills. It's a place to experiment with new ways of relating to others in a non-judgmental, supportive setting.

5. Healing Through Helping:

Group therapy takes you out of your head and brings you into the world, it’s not all about you! Rather it’s about you as a creator of your relationships with the people in your life. Creating a supportive environment with others can be therapeutic in itself. It enhances self-esteem and purpose, making you an active participant in your healing and the healing of others within the group.
