Some challenges are deeply personal — but they are rarely unique.
Group programs offer the opportunity to learn evidence-based skills, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and connect with others who may be navigating similar experiences. Many participants find that hearing another person's story helps them feel less alone, while practicing new skills together creates accountability, encouragement, and hope.
At The Wellspring, our groups are intentionally kept small to create a supportive, respectful, and psychologically safe environment.
Understanding trauma is often the first step toward healing.
A structured psychoeducational program designed around Dr. Judith Herman's Stages of Recovery model (safety → processing → reconnection) rather than simply symptom management. Sessions help participants understand how traumatic experiences affect the brain, body, emotions, relationships, and sense of self.
Rather than asking participants to revisit or share traumatic memories, this group focuses on education, self-understanding, and building a foundation for recovery — helping participants make sense of common trauma responses while developing greater compassion for themselves and their recovery journey.
Topics Include
Ideal for individuals beginning their trauma recovery journey, supporting a loved one with trauma, or seeking a deeper understanding of trauma before engaging in more intensive therapeutic work.
Recovery involves more than understanding trauma — it involves creating new ways of living.
A therapeutic process group for individuals who have already begun their healing journey and are ready to develop healthier patterns of emotional regulation, relationships, self-compassion, and resilience.
Together we explore how trauma continues to influence present-day experiences while supporting one another in building greater flexibility, connection, and hope.
Because emotional safety is essential, participation may require an individual consultation beforehand to ensure the group is an appropriate fit.
Practical skills for building a life worth living.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is one of the most extensively researched treatments for difficulties involving intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, and interpersonal challenges.
Rather than traditional group therapy, DBT Skills Training functions more like a structured educational class where participants learn and practice concrete skills between sessions.
Modules
Whether you struggle with overwhelming emotions, chronic stress, relationship conflict, or simply want better tools for everyday life, DBT offers practical strategies you can use immediately.
Understanding yourself in the company of others who understand.
Many neurodivergent individuals spend years feeling misunderstood or believing they simply need to "try harder." This group provides a welcoming space for adults with ADHD, autism, or related neurodevelopmental differences to better understand themselves while connecting with others who share similar experiences.
Topics May Include
Our approach is neurodiversity-affirming — focusing not only on challenges, but also on recognizing strengths, developing practical strategies, and building a life that works with, rather than against, your unique way of thinking.
Some groups are open to anyone who meets the participation criteria, while others may begin with a brief consultation to determine whether the group is the best fit for your current needs.
Not necessarily. Some participants join a group on its own, while others participate alongside individual therapy. During an initial consultation, we'll discuss what combination of services is likely to be most beneficial.
Many people feel that way initially. Participation is encouraged but never forced. You're welcome to contribute at your own pace, and many participants find that simply listening during the first few sessions helps them become more comfortable.
Yes. We ask all participants to respect one another's privacy and maintain confidentiality regarding personal information shared within the group. While absolute confidentiality cannot be guaranteed in any group setting, establishing mutual trust and respect is an important part of creating a safe environment.
If you're unsure which program best matches your goals, we're happy to discuss your needs during a brief consultation and recommend the most appropriate group.
