Group Therapy
Group therapy at Alliance Psychology is a supportive, evidence-based approach where people connect and grow together in a safe, therapist-guided environment. Sharing struggles in a group can bring the comfort of being understood by others facing similar challenges.
Our group therapy is available in our Orem and Spanish Fork offices, and through secure telehealth sessions, making it easier to find support in a way that works for you.
How Group Therapy Works
Group therapy brings together typically 6-10 participants who share similar challenges, guided by our therapists. Each session is structured to provide professional support while allowing members to learn from one another.
Sessions focus on issues that group members may be facing, such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma recovery, or parenting stress. Our therapists create a safe, confidential environment where open discussion and skill-building exercises encourage healing and growth.
Over time, participants discover that they can draw strength not only from the therapist’s guidance, but also from the experiences and encouragement of peers.
