Group Therapy

Small, closed clinical groups with a structured curriculum — the backbone of our care.

Group therapy at Manifest is a clinical modality — small, closed groups with a structured curriculum and shared practice — not an informal support group.

About Group Therapy

Most of our clinical hours happen in small, closed groups. Group is not a "support group"; it is a structured modality with a curriculum, facilitated by clinicians, where members practice skills and process what is coming up with others working on the same thing.

For social anxiety, group itself is exposure-based work with clinical scaffolding. For depression and substance use, being in a room with other adults working on the same thing is, in itself, therapeutic. Our groups are adults-only by design.
