Group Therapy

There’s something that happens when you’re in a room with people who actually get it — who’ve lived through the same things you have — that one-on-one therapy can’t quite match. For a lot of queer, kinky, and non-monogamous folks, isolation is the worst part. You can’t exactly bring up your relationship structure at the office holiday party. Group therapy puts you in a room where you don’t have to edit yourself.

You’ll hear from people who’ve dealt with the same things you’re dealing with — not in a theoretical way, but because they’ve actually been there. That kind of feedback hits different than anything a therapist alone can offer. Groups also give you a chance to try out new ways of communicating — setting boundaries, asking for what you need, handling conflict — with real people in real time.

Group sessions also cost less than individual therapy — which matters when you’re paying out of pocket.
