Group Therapy · Houston & The Heights
Group Therapy in Houston
Group is where insight becomes practice and isolation gives way to connection. Our rotating weekly schedule blends clinical skills groups with experiential work like equine therapy, art, and mindfulness, all led by master’s-level clinicians, in person and virtually. Private pay, with superbills for out-of-network reimbursement.
A weekly Spirituality group is part of the schedule for clients who want it, and faith can be woven into care without ever replacing clinical treatment. Our guide to faith-based and Christian-informed recovery explains how that works in an outpatient setting.

Where Real Change Happens Together
More than a circle of chairs
Group therapy is the heart of our PHP and IOP programs. Our schedule rotates through evidence-based skills groups, recovery and process-addiction work, and experiential modalities, so you practice new tools in real time and feel less alone in the work. Groups are intentionally small, led by master’s-level clinicians, and offered in person at our Houston Heights practice and virtually.
Experiential Therapy
Beyond the talking cure
Some of the deepest work does not happen in words. These experiential groups engage the body, the senses, and the relationship between you and the world around you.
With Horses
Equine Therapy
Working alongside horses builds trust, emotional awareness, and presence in a way words alone rarely reach, especially for trauma and relationship patterns.
Creative Expression
Art Therapy
Creative expression gives feelings a shape when language falls short, opening a gentler path to process trauma, identity, and change.
Presence & Regulation
Mindfulness & Body-Based Work
Mindfulness, guided meditation, body scan, and trauma-informed yoga teach your nervous system how to settle, so calm becomes a skill you can return to.

Where Group Fits
Part of a larger, individualized plan
Group therapy works best inside a coordinated plan. After an ASAM-guided assessment we recommend a level of care, from the Individualized Intensive Program through PHP, IOP, and Evening IOP, and group is woven in alongside individual therapy and family work. Many groups are also available virtually.

Common Questions
Group therapy, answered
If you do not see your question here, call our admissions team at (877) 549-5102 and we will walk you through it.
What kinds of groups do you offer?
Our rotating schedule includes clinical skills groups (Process Group, CBT, DBT, ACT, SFBT, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy), recovery and process-addiction groups, experiential work like equine therapy, art therapy, mindfulness, body scan, and trauma-informed yoga, plus family and aftercare groups.
Are groups in person or virtual?
Both. Groups meet in person at our Houston Heights practice, and many are offered virtually so you can stay connected even on a busy week.
Do I have to be in a program to join groups?
Group therapy is part of our PHP, IOP, and IIP levels of care. After a brief assessment we recommend the level and mix of groups and individual work that fit your needs.
Do I have to share or talk in group therapy?
No. You are always welcome to listen and participate at your own pace. Many people find that comfort and trust grow naturally over time.
How big are the groups?
Intentionally small. Groups are kept at a size where the facilitator knows every person in the room and everyone has space to be heard.
Is what I share in group kept confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is a core group agreement, and our clinicians set and protect that expectation so the space stays safe.
Who leads the groups?
Every group is facilitated by a master’s-level clinician, with specialty groups led by clinicians trained in that modality.
Does insurance cover group therapy?
We are a private-pay practice. For clients with out-of-network benefits, we provide detailed superbills you can submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement, and we explain costs before you commit to anything.
