Support Group

A structured, skills-based group format designed to support patients working through depression and related recovery goals.

Group Support

Support, accountability, and practical tools in one setting.

Our support-group offering is built for patients with treatment-resistant depression who need more than isolated medication changes and benefit from a structured space to practice recovery skills.

The format draws from the clinic’s prior Brain Health Training Program, with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral strategies, self-care, and mindfulness-based coping tools.

Rather than relying on unstructured conversation alone, the group is designed to help patients learn, practice, and apply techniques that support meaningful long-term change.

What The Group Covers

The work is practical, structured, and focused on depression recovery.

The goal is to help patients understand depression symptoms, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and build daily routines that support steadier mood and function.

Most patients do best when support, skills, and accountability are combined instead of searching for a single solution.

Common areas of focus include

  • Cognitive skills for identifying and challenging negative thought patterns
  • Self-care and behavioral activation strategies
  • Mindfulness practices that can support recovery
  • Structured support, accountability, and weekly participation

How The Group Works

This is structured support, not open-ended venting.

The group is intended to be active and skills-focused. Patients are encouraged to participate because they want to improve their day-to-day life, build healthier habits, and stay engaged in treatment between visits.

It can also complement work already being done with an individual therapist or other providers, which helps patients build a more complete plan for recovery.
