Group Therapy
How it works
You don’t have to do this alone. Group therapy offers supportive, professionally led spaces where healing happens through connection. At Fir Counseling, we provide a range of groups addressing anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and more. Participants share experiences, learn practical coping tools, and build a sense of community in a safe and confidential environment. Together, we create opportunities for insight, growth, and meaningful support.
Sessions typically include guided discussion, educational content, and practical strategies that participants can apply in their daily lives. While sharing is encouraged, individuals may participate at their own comfort level. Groups are designed to promote connection, reduce isolation, and provide tools
for lasting emotional growth.
Insurance coverage for group therapy varies depending on your provider and individual plan. We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to verify whether group therapy services are covered under your behavioral health benefits.

Kintsugi
Healing After Complex Trauma
10 sessions - Begins September 15th
This supportive group helps adults understand the impact of complex trauma while learning practical skills for emotional regulation, healthy relationships, and lasting healing. Inspired by the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, Kintsugi reminds us that healing is not about erasing the past—it's about embracing growth and resilience. Through education, guided discussion, group processing, and evidence-based coping strategies, participants will build resilience, strengthen self-compassion, and discover new paths toward healing. Recovery is possible, and together, we can learn how to thrive rather than simply survive.

Beyond the Pain
A Women’s Support Group for Chronic Pain & Health Conditions
6 sessions - Begins September 16th - FULL
Navigating life with a chronic illness or chronic pain—and living in a body that can be unpredictable—can be challenging, isolating, frustrating, overwhelming, and all-consuming. This group provides a safe, supportive space for participants to process their experiences, learn new skills, and connect with others who understand.
This is primarily a process-oriented group that also incorporates psychoeducation on mindfulness, embodiment, and nervous system regulation. The goal is to foster connection and support while helping participants cultivate greater self-compassion, develop a more trusted relationship with their bodies, and begin relating to their pain or illness with curiosity and acceptance rather than fear.
