Group Therapy Offerings

All groups are led by licensed therapists who specialize in the treatment of adult survivors. New groups form continuously at Roanoke Park Counseling. Our therapy groups are closed groups, which means that members commit to attend every session and no new group members will join after the first group. All groups are 2 hours long. Email Amanda Franklin, Clinical Coordinator, for more information, or call 206.323.7131.

Group therapy has given me an experience that I have never given myself — a chance to share, be witnessed, be heard, and a space to tell my story.
