Will I have to share personal things in front of strangers?

You will never be pressured to share more than you feel ready to. Groups are built on a foundation of confidentiality and mutual respect. Most members find that openness develops naturally over time, as trust in the group deepens.

How are the groups at IPG structured?

Our groups are small, typically 6 to 10 members, and led by experienced clinicians. Groups meet weekly and are carefully composed to ensure compatibility. Your therapist will assess fit during an initial consultation before recommending a group.

Is Group Therapy evidence-based?

Yes. Group Therapy is supported by decades of research and is recognized as highly effective for a wide range of presentations including anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, grief, and life transitions. Its effects are often comparable to individual therapy.

Do you offer Group Therapy via telehealth?

Yes. We offer both in-person groups in Beverly Hills and online group sessions for clients across Los Angeles and beyond. Online groups maintain the same structure and intimacy as in-person, and many members find the format highly accessible.

You Are Not Alone in This

Healing That Happens Between People

Group Therapy offers something individual work cannot: the lived experience of being truly witnessed by others who understand. At IPG, our groups are small, carefully composed, and led by experienced clinicians who create the conditions for genuine connection and meaningful growth.

Who Can Benefit from Group Therapy?

Growth That Happens in the Presence of Others

Group Therapy is well suited for individuals experiencing loneliness, anxiety, relational difficulties, grief, life transitions, or a desire to understand how they show up with others. It is also highly effective for those who have done individual work and are ready to apply their insights in a relational setting.

For clients navigating specific relational dynamics within a family system, Family Systems Therapy offers a complementary and focused approach.

What is Group Therapy?

The Group as a Mirror and a Catalyst

Group Therapy brings a small number of individuals together, typically 6 to 10, to work through personal challenges in the presence of a trained therapist and peers who offer honest reflection and genuine support.

The group itself becomes a therapeutic tool. The way you relate to others in the room often mirrors how you relate to people in your life, and it is in this living dynamic that real insight and change can occur.

At IPG, groups are carefully curated for compatibility and led with skill, structure, and deep respect for every participant.
