Navigating Adult ADHD Group

Group therapy involves a small, curated group of individuals meeting regularly, guided by a therapist, to explore shared experiences, offer mutual support, and work towards personal growth and healing. Some therapy groups are online due to convenience for our community, while others may be offered in person at our Horn Counseling office in Nashville, Tennessee.

While individual therapy focuses on one-on-one sessions with a therapist, group therapy involves a therapist leading a group of individuals with similar concerns or goals. Group sessions allow for interaction, support, collective insights, and learning from others’ experiences.

Group sizes can vary but usually range from 3 to 5 participants. This size fosters closeness and diversity while allowing everyone to engage and contribute to the sessions actively. At Horn Counseling, some of our therapy groups are offered both in-person at our location in Nashville, Tennessee, and online for ease and convenience of meeting everyone where they are in life.

Sessions often involve check-ins, discussions, exercises, and sharing experiences. The therapist guides the conversation, ensuring everyone has a chance to participate and benefit from the session.

Confidentiality is a fundamental aspect of group therapy. Participants are expected to maintain the confidentiality of others in the group, fostering a safe and trusting environment. At Horn Counseling, we go by “what is said here, stays here.” This means that we honor the space of sharing and keeping things within the group.

Our therapy groups are led by experienced therapists with training in group dynamics and various therapeutic techniques to ensure a supportive and productive environment.

Typically, group therapy sessions occur weekly or bi-weekly, allowing for consistent engagement and progress. The frequency may vary based on the specific group’s needs, and sometimes breaks are built into the schedule, such as if and when a group lands on a major holiday.

Yes, joining a therapy group can complement individual therapy. It offers a different dynamic, additional support, and diverse perspectives to aid your overall therapy journey. Therapy groups are often a lower fee per session, so it can be a lower cost option to add to your self care in addition to individual therapy. If you’re looking for an individual therapist, please contact us so we can assess your needs and work on matching you with one of our therapists or a therapist in your area who is a good fit for your therapy goals.
