Group Therapy: Where Shared Stories Become Shared Strength

There is something profoundly healing about sitting in a room — or a virtual circle — with people who genuinely understand what you're going through. At Ineza Outpatient Services, our Group Therapy program is built on this simple truth: you are not alone, and you don't have to figure everything out by yourself.

Research consistently shows that group therapy is just as effective as individual therapy for many conditions, including depression and anxiety. It offers something individual sessions simply cannot replicate: the lived experience of others, peer accountability, and the profound relief of hearing "me too." Led by Caroline Ndifon, PMHNP-BC and our team of licensed facilitators, each group is carefully structured to be a safe, confidential, and growth-oriented space for adults across Stockton and San Joaquin County.

Understanding Group Therapy for Mental Health

Types of Groups We Offer

From process-oriented support circles to skills-based CBT and DBT groups, we offer several formats tailored to different needs. Whether you're managing anxiety, navigating grief, or working through trauma, there's a group designed for your journey.

Conditions We Treat Together

Our groups address a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and life transitions. The shared experience of facing similar challenges accelerates insight and reduces the isolation that often accompanies mental health struggles.

Navigating Group Therapy: A Collaborative Journey

Understanding what happens inside a therapy group can make the idea of joining one feel far less intimidating. Our facilitators guide every session with intention — balancing structured discussion with organic connection so that each member gets what they need from the experience.

Beyond the Session: How Group Growth Extends into Daily Life

One of the most powerful aspects of group therapy is that the skills you practice in the room — listening, expressing needs, giving and receiving feedback, sitting with discomfort — directly translate into your relationships, your work, and your sense of self. At Ineza Outpatient Services, we see group therapy not as a standalone treatment, but as a catalyst for broader, lasting change.

If you're ready to take that first step, reach out to our team. We'll help you find the right group and answer any questions you have about the process.

We're here to help

Each session follows a thoughtful structure. We begin with a brief check-in, move into the week's topic or open discussion, and close with a grounding exercise. Your facilitator keeps the conversation safe and on track, but the real work happens through the honest exchange between members.
Most of our groups have between 6 and 10 members. This size is intentional — small enough that everyone has time to speak and be heard, but large enough that you benefit from a diversity of perspectives and experiences.
Absolutely not. You are never pressured to disclose anything before you're ready. Many members spend their first few sessions simply listening. That's okay — and it's part of the process. Opening up happens at your own pace, and your facilitator will support you wherever you are.
Yes. Confidentiality is the foundation of every group we run. All members sign a confidentiality agreement, and our facilitators are legally and ethically bound to protect your privacy. The only exceptions are situations involving imminent danger to yourself or others, or suspected abuse — as required by law.
We ask members to commit to at least four sessions. This gives you enough time to get a real sense of the group and its benefits, and it helps the group feel consistent and safe for everyone. Many members continue well beyond the initial commitment.
Yes. Our telehealth group sessions are available to adults physically located in California at the time of service. We use secure, HIPAA-compliant video platforms, so you can participate from the privacy of your own space — no commute required.
Absolutely. In fact, research suggests that combining individual and group therapy often produces stronger outcomes than either format alone. Many of our clients find that group work deepens the insights they gain in individual sessions — and vice versa.
