Trauma-informed group therapy at our offices in Capitol Hill that helps you feel less alone and more capable of the life you want to live.

Who BeneFits from Group Therapy?

Group therapy is a structured therapeutic format in which a licensed therapist facilitates sessions with a small group of participants (typically 4 to 10 people) who share a common focus, diagnosis, or life experience. It's not a support group or a drop-in class. It's real therapy, held in a group context. Group therapy is evidence-based and has decades of research supporting its effectiveness for anxiety, depression, trauma, social difficulties, OCD, and more.

At Snyder Therapy, our groups are particularly well-suited for people navigating:
• Anxiety
• Trauma and PTSD
• OCD
• Social skills development
• Neurodivergent experiences
• Life transitions, grief, or identity questions
• Children and teen identity or peer relationships

Our Group Therapy Offerings in Denver

Every group is led with a clear understanding of how trauma affects safety, trust, and the capacity to connect. Sessions are paced with care. No one is pushed to share before they're ready. Our background in EMDR and trauma therapy directly informs how groups are structured and facilitated.

Anxiety Group Therapy

Our anxiety group therapy brings together those who are tired of managing worry, fear, and nervous system overwhelm in isolation. Groups are skills-focused and use evidence-based CBT and EMDR-informed approaches to help members understand what drives their anxiety, regulate more effectively, and build tolerance for uncertainty. Many clients find that practicing new responses inside the group accelerates their progress in ways solo work couldn't.

Group Therapy for Teens

Adolescence is one of the most socially intense periods of human development and emotions can feel completely overwhelming. Our group therapy for teens creates a structured, therapist-led environment where adolescents can work on anxiety, identity, social difficulties, and emotional regulation alongside peers who are navigating similar challenges. Teens often find it easier to open up in a group than in a one-on-one setting once trust is established.

Social Skills Groups Therapy

Social skills group therapy is designed for people who want to build more authentic, effective ways of connecting with others in a setting where those skills can actually be practiced. Whether you're dealing with social processing or a history of relational trauma, this group meets you where you are. Sessions focus on real-time interaction, communication patterns, emotional expression, and the experience of being genuinely seen by others.

Neurodivergent Group Therapy

Many neurodivergent adults and teens including those with ADHD or autism have spent years learning to compensate their way through environments that weren't designed for them. Our neurodivergent group therapy offers a safe space where social groups converge around shared experience.

Autism Social Groups

Our autism social groups are structured therapeutic environments designed to help autistic adults and teens build genuine social connection and communication skills within a supportive, low-pressure setting. Unlike generic social skills programs, our approach is trauma-informed and person-centered: we don't try to make autistic participants seem more neurotypical. We help them connect authentically and communicate clearly.

What to Expect

Every prospective group member has a brief individual consultation before joining. This helps us understand your goals, make sure the group format is a good clinical fit, and prepare you for what the group experience will be like. Our groups are intentionally small to ensure that every member has space to be heard and that the therapeutic environment stays intimate and manageable. All group members agree to confidentiality as a condition of participation, and legal confidentiality protections apply in Colorado.

Group therapy can provide more than traditional one-on-one sessions:

Real-time relational practice: You're not just talking about how you connect with others, you're actually doing it.
Normalization and validation: Hearing others share similar experiences reduces the sense that something is fundamentally wrong with you.
Community: A group that meets weekly creates consistency and connection that extends beyond the therapy room.

We'd love to talk with you about which group might be the right fit, or whether individual therapy or a combination of both makes the most sense for where you are right now.
