Group Counseling

Grow In A Group

Discover wholeness in community.

Emerge Group Counseling can provide a safe environment in which you have the opportunity to practice new behaviors, improve skills, and receive feedback from others with similar concerns and experiences. Group counseling can allow members to feel less isolated as they work through challenges within an environment guided by a trained and licensed counselor.

Groups focus on varying skills and themes, and offer both help, healing, and hope. If you are a current client at Emerge Counseling, please speak to your clinician for a referral for a group. If you are not a current client and would like to join a group, please call Emerge for more information to set up a screening. Payment for groups can be discussed with our Client Registration Office (insurance is accepted).
