Group Therapy

Group therapy offers a powerful way of healing. In a supportive, confidential space, you can share honestly, feel understood, and recognize that many of your struggles are part of the human experience—not personal failures.

Listening to others’ stories and being witnessed in your own can build connection, perspective, and hope. In group, you can practice communication, boundaries, self-compassion, and healthier ways of relating in real time. With skilled guidance and mutual encouragement, group therapy can help you move beyond isolation, develop lasting coping skills, and grow into more confident, connected versions of themselves.

Common Ground – A Group for Relational Healing

This virtual group is offered Fridays at 1-2:30 pm. Price: $60/session

Healing does not have to happen alone.

Interpersonal violence can change the way we experience safety, trust, closeness, and even ourselves. Whether those experiences happened in childhood or adulthood, their effects can remain long after the relationship or circumstances have changed.

Common Ground is a virtual, trauma-focused therapy group for adults of all genders and sexual orientations who have experienced interpersonal violence.

This is a space to be understood without having to explain everything. A space to explore what happened, how it shaped you, and what healing can look like now.

Together, members will have opportunities to explore themes such as:

• Rebuilding safety and trust
• Understanding trauma responses
• Recognizing relational patterns
• Reconnecting with identity and self-worth
• Learning and practicing healthy boundaries
• Reducing shame and self-blame
• Strengthening emotional awareness and regulation
• Reclaiming voice, choice, and agency
• Navigating connection after relational trauma
• Experiencing support and healing in relationships with others

Why Common Ground?

Relational trauma often happens in connection with another person. Healing can happen in connection, too.

Common Ground offers a space where members can experience being heard, respected, and supported while remaining fully themselves. No one is required to share more than they are ready to share, and healing is not measured by how much of your story you disclose.

Sometimes common ground is not having the same story.

It is simply standing beside others who understand what it means to find your footing again.

Group Format

Common Ground is an ongoing virtual therapy group that combines elements of a process group and trauma-informed support group.

The group meets weekly for 90 minutes and is limited to 10 members to allow space for meaningful connection and participation.

The group is closed once it reaches capacity. If a space becomes available, enrollment may reopen for a new member following a pre-group screening.

Who Is This Group For?

Common Ground welcomes adults who have experienced interpersonal violence in childhood, adulthood, or both.

This may include experiences within romantic relationships, families, caregiving relationships, or other significant interpersonal relationships.

People of all genders and sexual orientations are welcome.

You do not need to have the perfect words for what happened. You do not need to know exactly where you are in your healing. You only need enough curiosity about what life might feel like with more safety, connection, and room to be yourself.

Before Joining

Each prospective member will participate in an individual pre-group meeting.

This meeting gives you an opportunity to learn more about the group, ask questions, and determine whether the group feels appropriate for you.

Because safety comes first, the pre-group meeting will also include screening for current interpersonal violence and discussion of available resources. For individuals currently experiencing circumstances that may make group participation unsafe or clinically inappropriate, individual therapy or another level of support may be recommended.

This is not about determining whether someone is “ready enough” to heal.

It is about making sure the setting supports that healing safely.

You Are Allowed to Take Up Space Here.

Common Ground is a place to speak, listen, question, grieve, understand, reconnect, and begin again.

You do not have to arrive healed.

You only have to arrive as you are.
