Group Therapy for Anxiety

In our anxiety support groups, you’ll connect with others who understand the unique challenges and experiences of living with anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Sharing your struggles and hearing the stories of others can be incredibly validating and empowering, reducing feelings of isolation and stigma.

Our therapists and group members create an environment where you can express your feelings, receive empathy, and find encouragement. By sharing your experiences and listening to others, you’ll develop a stronger sense of belonging and connection. The emotional support and encouragement you receive in our groups can be invaluable in overcoming the fear, worry, and self-doubt often associated with anxiety disorders.

Through group therapy, you’ll learn effective coping strategies for managing panic attacks, excessive worry, intrusive thoughts, and other anxiety symptoms. Our therapists will guide you through techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you develop healthier ways of thinking and behaving.

Anxiety disorders such as OCD and social anxiety can often lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. Our groups provide a sense of belonging and connection with others who understand your experiences. By joining a supportive community, you’ll reduce feelings of shame and stigma, and find a sense of belonging with people who share your challenges.

Group therapy can help you build resilience and find hope for a brighter future. By witnessing others’ progress and sharing your own successes, you can develop a sense of optimism and belief in your ability to overcome anxiety. Through the support and encouragement of your therapists and group members, you’ll learn to embrace challenges and find strength — even in the face of adversity.

Overcoming anxiety through group therapy can lead to an improvement in overall quality of life. In our supportive community, you’ll find yourself enjoying increased social interactions, better sleep, improved relationships, and greater productivity. By reclaiming control over anxiety at CEDAR, you can experience a newfound sense of freedom and well-being.
