How Group Therapy Helps
Group therapy allows you to learn what other people have found helpful. Groups can also be a good forum to learn how to deal more effectively with relationships in your life. And group treatment can provide a convenient and cost-effective way to acquire new coping skills. Both our Washington, DC and Bethesda Locations offer group therapy.
Below is information on our current group offerings:
Our Regulating Emotions Distress and Interpersonal Relationships (REDI) Group is currently forming. The goal of this group is to help individuals in their journey to improve control over their emotions and mind, gain agency in their world, and lead a life worth living.

This group covers skills from a variety of domains including:
- Mindfulness
- Tolerating distress
- Regulating emotions
- Effectively navigating interpersonal relationships
