You Are Not Alone; You Were Never Meant To Be
Golden State Recovery’s group therapy sessions are designed for you to gain strength from connection and support. You can learn from those on similar journeys as you and heal together while finding a sense of community and belonging.

Can you imagine all the new ways you will find to deal with your challenges if it was not all on your shoulders? The modern society has become a very self-reliant one; going it alone is said to be strong. Indeed, personal strength and resilience are virtues to be hailed, but we were never meant to go it alone. As the oft-heard phrase goes, “When we come together, magic happens.” We are social creatures – meant to be, learn, and create together. There is a sense of comfort and belonging in a fellowship.
These are the tenets that Golden State Recovery’s group therapy sessions are based on – to heal in a supportive setting where you can learn and teach one another. Guided by our licensed and skilled therapists, you take a collaborative approach to dealing with your mental and behavioral health challenges as you share, grow, and let your light shine bright.
What Is Group Therapy?
Group psychotherapy or therapy is a well-established psychotherapeutic intervention that brings a group of 5-10 members together to address specific mental health concerns with guided discussions and group activities. As members open up and share, they heal and grow. They learn together to develop the tools and skills they need to cope with their mental health challenges in a productive manner.
Golden State Recovery’s group therapy sessions are led by expert therapists who seek to engage and foster connections in order to promote mental health. We also offer online group therapy sessions so that you can participate and engage with other members from the comfort and privacy of your home.

What Are the Conditions Addressed With Group Therapy?

Group therapy addresses a wide spectrum of mental health concerns and everyday challenges, such as:
- Anxiety disorders
- Mood disorders
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Eating disorders
- Substance use disorders
- Schizophrenia
- Chronic stress
- Grief
- Life changes (like separation, divorce, loss, etc)
- Chronic conditions
- Other mental health needs.
Depending on your specific needs and concerns, our group therapy sessions are tailored for you so that you find fellowship with others who are on similar recovery journeys. Mental health challenges often lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness, but you were never meant to go through it alone. You can find healing in connections, sharing, and learning together as you reclaim control and rebuild your life with encouragement and confidence.
