Group Therapy Services
We offer a robust selection of group therapy services, consistent with our practice philosophies about the vital importance of relationships. Kindred Psychology group therapy offerings are based on specific presenting problems, life circumstances, shared identities, and/or the type of skills that need further development. Group therapy is a cost-effective treatment modality covered by most insurance companies.
Group therapy is a powerful companion to individual therapy.
We have found that group therapy, in combination with individual therapy, can be a particularly effective combination for some individuals. Clients who are seeing individual therapists outside of Kindred Psychology are welcome to attend our groups. In fact, we highly encourage clients to maintain their established therapeutic relationships with outside providers! For a description of our current group therapy offerings, please see below.
Gender Diverse Group Series. Find your community! Browse our group offerings for gender diverse kiddos, adolescents, adults, and caregivers of gender diverse youth. We tend the groups in this series to help foster a sense of belonging and social support in the community. These groups provide valuable peer support and opportunities for relationship development for folks looking to meet others with similar identities. These social support groups are not considered to be therapy groups, though they are facilitated by licensed clinicians at Kindred Psychology.
Navigating Intersectional Identities. Minority Stress occurs when when the accumulated experiences of marginalization and discrimination overwhelm individuals’ stress response systems. For folks who have multiply minoritized and/or stigmatized identity features such as race, gender, sexual orientation, ability, etc., the psychological and health disparities are compounded. This psychotherapy group is for diverse individuals ages 18+ who are interested in exploring and ameliorating the impact of minority stress, and developing a broader experience of social safety.
