Group Psychotherapy

While group therapy is a core component of the Approach IOP program, we also offer stand-alone psychotherapy groups for individuals who may not need, or are not ready for, the full intensive outpatient program. These groups are open to the community and provide structured, evidence-based support for specific concerns like social anxiety, avoidance, and isolation.

Social Anxiety ACT Group

This structured, 10-week group is designed for adults experiencing social anxiety, avoidance, or isolation. The group is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based approach that teaches practical skills to face fears, stay present, and take meaningful action.

 

ACT incorporates mindfulness practices and a focus on personal values to increase psychological flexibility—the ability to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings in more effective ways. Through weekly 80-minute sessions, members engage in experiential exercises, values exploration, and exposure-based activities in a supportive group setting. The goal is not to eliminate anxiety, but to build confidence and freedom in navigating social situations.

When: Wednesday's from 5:30 pm - 7 pm

Fee: $120 per group session, or $1,200 for the total 10 weeks
