You don’t have to go through it alone. Our groups are built around shared experiences, allowing you to connect with others who understand what you’re facing—not just in theory, but in lived reality. We offer groups tailored to specific challenges like OCD recovery, trauma processing, and neurodivergent identity. In these settings, you’ll build self-awareness, gain feedback, and learn practical skills—all while feeling seen and accepted by people who really get you.
At Layers, group therapy combines research-backed approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) within a deeply relational framework. You'll learn how to manage symptoms, communicate more effectively, and show up authentically—with guidance from both peers and clinicians. Whether online or in person in our Plano, TX office, our groups offer real momentum toward healing, accountability, and long-term growth.
Joining a group at Layers Counseling Specialists starts with a free 15-minute consultation, where we’ll learn more about your needs and help you find the group that’s the right clinical and emotional fit. Whether you're seeking connection around OCD recovery, navigating the challenges of ARFID, processing trauma, or exploring neurodivergence, you’ll be placed in a group led by an expert clinician who specializes in your experience. In your first sessions, your therapist will guide the group in creating a safe, respectful, and confidential space—so everyone feels supported from the start. You’ll gain access to research-backed tools from therapies like ERP, DBT, and ACT while learning how to connect with others, regulate emotions, and share your story without judgment. Each group moves at a pace that honors both structure and flexibility, meeting weekly either online or at our Plano, TX office. At Layers, group therapy isn’t just about talking—it’s about growing alongside others who truly get what you’re going through.
