Group Counseling
Grow Together. Heal Together. You’re Not Alone.
Sometimes, the most powerful healing happens when we realize we’re not the only ones going through it.
At Garnett Counseling, our group counseling sessions bring people together who are facing similar challenges. Whether you’re working through anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, or just looking for a space to feel understood, group therapy gives you that sense of connection and support.
You don’t have to go through this by yourself. In our safe, welcoming therapy groups, you’ll listen, share, learn from others, and move forward together.
What Is Group Counseling?
Group counseling (also known as support group therapy) is a type of therapy where a small group of people meet regularly with a licensed therapist. Each group focuses on a specific topic or shared experience, like stress, trauma, or life transitions.
It’s a chance to:
- Connect with others who understand what you’re going through
- Learn from other people’s experiences
- Share your story in a safe, confidential space
- Practice new tools in a group setting
- Feel less alone
Many people are surprised by how deeply helpful and healing it is to be part of a group. You don’t have to speak up until you’re ready—and when you are, you’ll be heard with respect and care.

What Happens in a Group Session?
Every group is a little different, but here’s what you can usually expect:
- Small group (around 6–10 people)
- Weekly sessions, usually 60–90 minutes
- Led by a licensed therapist
- Clear ground rules to keep it safe and respectful
- Time to share, listen, and learn
- Tools and tips to apply in your daily life
You never have to speak if you don’t want to. Many people find that listening is helpful at first. Over time, you may feel more comfortable opening up, and that’s where real growth begins.
Why Group Counseling Works
There’s something special about realizing you’re not alone. Group therapy offers a real human connection. It helps you build trust, share honestly, and feel seen.
In groups, we often:
- Heal faster through shared experience
- Learn that our struggles are valid—and shared
- Feel empowered by the strength of others
- Develop lasting coping skills and emotional support
Our groups are warm, welcoming, and open to anyone ready to grow.
