  • Depression support groups, offering connection and tools for the harder days
  • Trauma and healing groups, a steady, safe space to recover with others
  • Grief and loss groups, where the weight of loss is shared with people who get it
  • Substance use and recovery groups, building accountability and support for the road ahead
  • Skills-based groups, teaching coping, communication, and emotional balance you can use daily

Who Leads Your Group

Every NuTrans Health group in Raleigh is led by a licensed mental health professional trained to create a space that feels safe, structured, and respectful.

Your group therapist does much more than guide the conversation. They create a safe, supportive environment where every member feels heard, respected, and valued. They help foster meaningful discussions, navigate difficult moments with care, and uphold the confidentiality and ground rules that allow everyone to share openly. Throughout each session, you'll have the guidance and support of an experienced professional.

What Your First Session Feels Like

Most of the nerves fade once you know what to expect. A group brings together a small number of people, usually six to ten, who meet regularly with one or two licensed therapists. Sessions run a little longer than individual appointments so everyone has room to be heard.

You share only what you are comfortable sharing, and only when you are ready. And what is shared in the group stays in the group. Confidentiality is the foundation of trust here, and every member commits to it from the first day.

She is an absolutely amazing therapist and such a strong woman!! She goes literally above and beyond for all of her clients! She’s the best therapist my children and husband have had!

Abbie Eddy

Very intimate, I love the fact that they listen. And that's the problem that I have been having in my previous therapy: they weren't listening. So I'm glad I found a great place to be and know that they care about me and my well-being.

Samantha Blue

I can not express how much I appreciate NuTrans Health. They have helped me considerably in the year I've been there. The staff is prompt and courteous. The ease of tele-visits fits my lifestyle needs and schedule well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is group therapy?

Group therapy is a form of counseling where a small group of people with similar experiences or challenges meet with a licensed therapist. It provides a supportive environment to share experiences, learn coping skills, and gain encouragement from others.

Do I have to talk during group therapy?

No. You are never forced to share. Many people begin by simply listening and open up naturally over time. You always go at your own pace.

Is what I say kept private?

Yes. Confidentiality is a core ground rule, and every member agrees to protect what is shared. It is the foundation that makes group work possible.

Is group therapy as effective as individual therapy?

For most concerns, yes. A large body of research shows group therapy works as well as individual therapy for issues like anxiety, depression, and trauma, and the peer support can make it even more powerful.

How big are the groups?

Groups are intentionally small, usually around six to ten people, so everyone has space to be heard and the group stays personal.

Can I do group and individual therapy at the same time?

Absolutely. Many people combine the two, using individual sessions for private work and group sessions for connection and practice. We can help you build the right mix.

How do I know which group is right for me?

You do not have to figure that out alone. We start with a short intake conversation and match you to the group that best fits your needs.

Reaching Out Takes Courage. NuTrans Health Makes It Easier.

Asking for support is not a weakness. It is the first real step toward feeling better, and in a group, you take that step surrounded by people who understand exactly what it took.
