Group Therapy
At Transformations Counseling, we believe healing and growth happen not only within ourselves but also in connection with others. Group therapy offers a supportive space to share experiences, learn new skills, and discover that you are not alone.
In group therapy, 6–10 participants meet with a trained therapist to explore challenges, practice new ways of relating, and receive encouragement from others on similar journeys. Each group has its own focus—such as managing anxiety, navigating identity, healing relationships, or building resilience—and emphasizes creating a safe, affirming environment for LGBTQIA+ people and allies.
Group therapy can help you:
-
Feel understood and supported by peers
-
Build confidence in expressing yourself
-
Practice communication and coping skills
-
Break patterns of isolation and self-criticism
-
Gain practical tools for everyday life
Whether you’re seeking personal growth, healing, or community, group therapy provides a space where you can show up authentically and grow alongside others.
Group Offerings
Parents of Trans Youth Support Groups
Coming soon! We are excited to share that two support groups for parents of trans youth are in development. These groups will connect parents of trans youth in a supportive setting to build community and to learn about transgender identities, gender-affirming healthcare, transition options, and more. We plan to offer one group for parents of youth 12 and under and a second group for parents of youth 13-18. The groups will be held on alternating Mondays from 5:30-7pm starting this fall. Check back soon for more details.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Group
This skills-based group is for individuals who feel stuck in anxiety or depression. ACT helps participants develop psychological flexibility, clarify personal values, and learn tools for living a more meaningful life. Through mindfulness and acceptance practices, you’ll discover how to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings so you can move toward the life you want.

Intuitive Eating Group
This group supports participants in building a healthier, more compassionate relationship with food and their bodies. You will explore principles of intuitive eating, learn to quiet the chatter of “food noise.” and practice skills for tuning into your body’s needs with curiosity rather than judgment. This group is especially affirming for LGBTQIA+ individuals who may carry unique experiences of body image and food-related struggles.

Transgender Support & Interpersonal Process Group
Designed specifically for transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive participants, this group combines support and interpersonal process work. It offers a space where you can gain insight to your relational patterns, learn to navigate challenges in relationships, and foster more meaningful relationships in community with other trans folks (including your group leaders).
