Groups
Right now you may be experiencing:
Disappointment that individual therapy isn’t helping you as much as you thought it would
Feeling different, not good enough, guilty
Alone and disconnected from others due to anxiety, panic, chronic hopelessness, or fatigue
Curiosity about how mindfulness and buzzwords like ‘microbiome’ can transform your mental health and overall well-being

Group Therapy
Do you find yourself declining social invitations or relying on one or two close friends or family members to talk with when times are tough or celebratory? Perhaps you prefer your alone time because you often feel ignored, misunderstood, or nervous about talking with others. Or maybe you believe you have nothing interesting to say or you don’t want anyone to see you having a panic attack.
Even though our modern world makes connecting to others so easy, it can be really hard to really get to know someone, for them to get to know you, and even harder to find the words or courage when something feels off, confusing, or triggering.
Find out what it feels like to receive empathy, compassion, and acceptance from others while allowing yourself to be open and honest.
Our therapy groups are long-term, processing groups that meet for 90-minutes several times per month. The groups are small with a maximum of 6 members and are held either in person or telehealth/video.
Being a part of a long-term therapy processing group can help you:
Improve communication skills
Cultivate assertiveness and find your voice within a safe facilitated environment
Feel heard, seen, and connected
Develop insight around habitual relational patterns
Increase self-acceptance
Live more fully and authentically in the present moment
Joining a long-term therapy group is different than starting individual therapy. We require you to meet with the group’s facilitator at least three times for individual sessions to ensure you, the facilitator, and group are a good fit for your personal goals.
If you and the facilitator agree that joining the group is the next step after three (3) individual sessions, both of you will review the Group Agreement to ensure you understand the structure and ‘rules’ of the group before your first group session.
The fee varies by group and is a monthly fee charged at the beginning of the month. The fee includes a certain amount of group sessions even if you do not attend all of them. There are no refunds for cancellations, sick days, or vacation days.

You have caught yourself thinking “I wish my partner / friends would just understand what I’m going through”.
Feeling isolated or dismissed about what you are feeling and thinking during challenging times can make your struggles feel more intense and hopeless. A part of you knows you need acknowledgment and empathy but another part of you may know that getting this from your family or friends feels hopeless.
Nourish your need for validation and support by participating in a group of people who are experiencing similar hardships.
Currently, Flourish does not have any support groups. We recommend Austin Group Psychotherapy Society’s group directory to find a Support Group.
