Embracing Healing Together: The Power of Group Therapy at Blue Umbrella

In a world where individuals often navigate the complexities of life alone, finding a space where they can share their struggles, triumphs, and growth with others can be transformative. At Blue Umbrella, we understand the value of community and connection in the journey towards healing. That's why we're proud to offer a variety of group therapy programs designed to support individuals from all walks of life. From teens to seniors, and those undergoing specialized treatments at our Breakthrough Center, our group therapy sessions provide a safe and nurturing environment for personal growth and healing.


Teen Group Therapy: Nurturing Tomorrow's Leaders

Navigating adolescence can be a tumultuous journey filled with unique challenges and uncertainties. Our Teen Group Therapy sessions offer a supportive space where adolescents can come together to share their experiences, explore their emotions, and develop valuable coping skills. Led by experienced therapists, these sessions provide a platform for teens to express themselves authentically, build resilience, and foster meaningful connections with their peers. Through group discussions, creative activities, and evidence-based interventions, participants learn to navigate the complexities of adolescence with confidence and self-awareness.


Seniors Group Therapy: Embracing the Wisdom of Age

As we age, life presents us with a new set of challenges, from health concerns to loss and transitions. Our Seniors Group Therapy sessions offer a compassionate space where older adults can come together to support one another through life's ups and downs. Led by therapists with expertise in geriatric care, these sessions provide a sense of community and belonging, helping seniors feel heard, valued, and understood. Whether facing retirement, health issues, or the loss of loved ones, participants find solace in sharing their stories, gaining new perspectives, and discovering resilience in the company of their peers.


Breakthrough Center Group Therapy: Healing Through Innovation

At Blue Umbrella's Breakthrough Center, we offer cutting-edge treatments such as TMS, Ketamine, and Spravato for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant mental health conditions. Recognizing the unique needs of those undergoing these innovative therapies, we provide specialized group therapy sessions to complement their treatment journeys. Led by therapists trained in these modalities, these sessions offer a supportive environment for individuals to process their experiences, share insights, and cultivate hope on their path to recovery. By fostering a sense of camaraderie and understanding among participants, these sessions enhance the efficacy of breakthrough treatments and empower individuals to embrace new possibilities for healing.
