How Group Therapy Fits Into Your Care at New Mind Wellness
Group therapy plays an important role in every level of care at New Mind Wellness. We weave group sessions into each program so people can build skills, connect with others, and receive steady support throughout their recovery journey.
People in our Partial Hospitalization Program take part in daily group sessions. This structure gives them consistent guidance and a strong sense of community during an intensive stage of care.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program offers group therapy three to four times each week, which creates a balance between meaningful therapeutic work and the flexibility to manage daily responsibilities.
In our Outpatient Program, group therapy usually meets once or twice a week. These sessions help people stay grounded, practice new skills, and continue growing as they move toward greater independence.
No matter which program someone chooses, group therapy gives them a place to feel supported, understood, and encouraged as they heal.
