Group Therapy
Are you telling yourself “No way would I go to group therapy!” You’re not alone. However, those that have taken the leap say it is the best choice! A sense of community and support from more than just your provider.
Group therapy is loosely defined as having more than one client treated at the same time by at least one therapist. Group therapy helps individuals develop communication skills and socialization skills and allows clients to develop self-awareness by listening to others with similar issues. As well, group therapy helps you realize you’re not alone – though it’s true that each of us is unique, none of us have to be alone in our struggles.

TMS Support Group
TMS Support Group is open to any patients who are either a prior or present TMS patient here at Genesis. The purpose of the group is to build community within the TMS patients as they journey through the 6 weeks of TMS. This group is a closed group meaning that you need to join the 6-week group by the second meeting. The reason for this being a closed group is to allow the people in the group to build community and feel comfortable sharing each week. The 6-week group is designed to fill the patient’s toolboxes with coping skills in order to deal with outside stressors of life. A lot of the time TMS does scientifically what it needs to do in order to get the patients feeling better however, every patient still goes home to the same external stressors. This group allows a space to learn counseling coping skills in order to prevent relapse and start building a healthier lifestyle.
Cost: $20 per group – special rate for tele-health

Grief Group
After the loss of a loved one, we experience a wide variety of feelings and emotions. The ever-changing emotions can catch us off guard, causing us to act out of character or differently than our typical personality or demeanor. The purpose of this group is to allow us space for process and support – to help us move through our grief journey and more towards healing. This is a closed group, meaning that you need to join the 8-week group by the second meeting. By keeping the group closed, we allow the people in this group to build a community and feel comfortable sharing each week. If grief has impacted you or is continuing to impact you, this can be a group for you in order to build up support and work through the tasks of mourning with people who understand what it is like to lose someone important to them.
Cost: $20 per group – special rate for tele-health
How to sign up: This group is currently not available however Genesis is still gathering an interest list. Ask your provider for more details, or call us at 210-404-9696.
