Group Therapy in Los Angeles — healing happens in connection
Maybe you’re feeling stretched thin by your relationships — trying to give, trying to stay patient, trying to feel seen. It’s easy to believe you’re the only one struggling. But you’re not.
Group therapy offers a unique kind of healing — one rooted in the simple, powerful experience of being witnessed and having a sense of comradery. Here, you don’t have to explain everything. You don’t have to have it all figured out before opening up to others. You just have to show up, as you are.
At Grayslate, our groups are led by skilled, compassionate therapists who create a space where vulnerability is welcomed and growth is shared. Together, we listen, reflect, challenge gently, and learn. Group therapy is about practicing new ways of being — in real time, with others who get it.
Our group therapy sessions are held both in-person and online via a secure HIPAA-compliant teletherapy platform, broadcast from our offices in LA.
Book Your ConsultationWhy Group Therapy Works
Healing doesn’t always happen in isolation. Often, the biggest shifts come from realizing you’re not alone in what you’re feeling. That’s the real power of group therapy: it invites you into a space where shared experiences become a source of insight, relief, and connection.
Group therapy offers more than simple peer support. It’s a space to try out new ways of relating, to notice your patterns as they show up, and to hear gentle feedback that helps you grow. You’ll be part of a small, consistent group of people who are navigating similar challenges — people who understand the push-pull of intimacy, the frustration of miscommunication, or the exhaustion of managing differences that feel too big to bridge.
You’re experiencing things as they happen, in a safe and supportive environment.
Over time, these small moments of reflection, resonance, and repair begin to ripple outward — changing how you show up with others in your life.
Our Groups
Group Therapy at Grayslate
At Grayslate, we offer group therapy for people who are ready to explore new ways of relating in their partnerships — including neurodiverse partnerships, friendships, families, and within themselves. Our groups are small, intentional, and led by licensed mental health therapists, creating a grounded space for emotional safety and meaningful connection.
LGBTQIA+ Women’s Process Group
For women who identify as lesbian, bisexual, queer, or transgender — or anyone seeking community and support within an affirming environment. An ongoing LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy process group where participants can explore experiences, build meaningful relationships, and develop emotional resilience together.
Healthy Relationships Group
For individuals who feel stuck in patterns that make relationships hard to negotiate — difficulty trusting others, struggling with boundaries, or feeling overwhelmed by closeness. This group offers a space to untangle relational habits in a supportive setting and practice building healthier connections.
ADHD Partner Skills Group
For individuals with ADHD who want to better understand how their neurodivergence shows up in relationships. This 12-week group covers emotional regulation, executive functioning, communication, and relationship repair strategies — with take-home tools and peer connection throughout.
Non-ADHD Partner Skills Group
If you’re in a relationship with someone who has ADHD, this group helps transform your frustration into confident clarity. Over 12 weeks, you’ll explore communication tools, emotional boundaries, and ways to break common cycles like criticism or burnout — while connecting with others who understand the uniqueness of loving a neurodiverse partner.
Ongoing Process Groups (ADHD & Non-ADHD)
After completing the initial 12-week skills group, members are invited to join longer-term process groups — where deeper relational exploration continues in a more open, unstructured format. The supportive relationships you’ve formed are given time to flourish and you’ll have plenty of opportunity to learn and grow together.

What You’ll Learn & Practice
Every group at Grayslate is designed to give you both inner awareness and action — tools to use in your everyday relationships, and the support to help those tools stick.
Skills You’ll Build
In our groups, you’ll learn how to:
- →Communicate more clearly and effectively, even when emotions run high
- →Set and maintain boundaries with compassion
- →Recognize and shift patterns like avoidance, reactivity, or people-pleasing
- →Navigate ADHD-related challenges in partnerships with more clarity and empathy
- →Navigate minority stress related to LGBTQIA+ challenges
- →Develop emotional awareness and regulation skills
- →Practice vulnerability and connection in real time
- →Receive feedback that’s gentle, honest, and growth-oriented
Most importantly, you’ll get to practice these skills with others who are working through similar struggles. This is a space for doing, reflecting, and evolving together — not talking in circles.
Is This for You?
How to Tell If Group Therapy Is Right for You
Group therapy might be right for you if you often find yourself repeating the same relational patterns, even when you’re trying not to.
Maybe you feel misunderstood in your relationship or constantly responsible for the emotional tone of your home. Maybe connection feels overwhelming, or out of reach. You might long for more satisfying friendships or deeper partnerships but feel unsure how to create them.
Some people come to group therapy because they’re tired of feeling alone in their struggles. Others come because they’ve done individual therapy and are ready to practice their growth in a more relational space. You don’t need to be in crisis. You don’t need a perfect story to tell. You just need to be curious about how you show up with others — and open to the idea that healing can happen in connection, not just in solitude.
How It Works
All of our groups are small and therapist-led — designed to help you feel connected and seen. Before joining a group, we’ll start with a brief intake session to get a sense of your goals and ensure that group therapy is the right fit for you. It’s important that every group feels cohesive and safe, so we take the time to get it right.
Each session runs for 90 minutes and is held weekly either in person or over a HIPAA compliant teletherapy platform. Groups typically include between 4–8 members: enough to foster dynamic conversation, while still allowing everyone to be heard.
If you’re new to the ADHD or non-ADHD partner groups, you’ll begin with a 12-week skills-based group before being invited into our ongoing process group, which meets weekly for a minimum of six months.
Our current ADHD support group schedule includes three annual cohort start dates: April, September, and March. Groups pause for major holidays and we offer optional makeup sessions when available. Pricing is $100 per session, with intake consultations ranging from $100 to $200 depending on your provider.
Dr. Tyler Howard facilitates the ADHD partner groups, bringing clinical expertise in neurodiversity and relational dynamics. Grazel Garcia facilitates the non-ADHD partner group, creating a space that is both emotionally attuned and deeply practical.
Our other therapists run our LGBTQIA+ Women’s Process Group and our Healthy Relationships Group — prices for these groups range from $65–$85 per session.

Questions
Group Therapy FAQs
Do I need to be in a relationship to join a group?
Not at all. Our Healthy Relationships group is designed for individuals who want to improve how they connect with others, romantic or otherwise. The ADHD partner groups are specific to those navigating neurodiverse relationship dynamics, but we welcome individuals whether they’re currently in a relationship or processing one.
What’s the difference between a skills group and a process group?
Skills groups are structured and time-limited, typically running for 12 weeks. They offer tools, strategies, and psychoeducation with space to reflect and apply what you’re learning. Process groups are ongoing and more open-ended — centered around emotional exploration and relational dynamics in real time. Many members start in a skills group and move into a process group once they’ve built a strong foundation.
Can I join a group mid-cohort?
Because trust and consistency are essential to the group experience, we don’t allow drop-ins or mid-cohort entries. New members are invited to join at the start of each scheduled cohort to ensure everyone begins together.
Will I have to share personal details with the group?
You’ll never be pushed to share anything before you’re ready. Group therapy works best when members participate openly, but we respect your pace and comfort. Safety and consent are at the heart of everything we do.
What’s the intake process like?
You’ll have a 30–45 minute consultation with the group facilitator. It’s a chance to ask questions, get oriented, and determine whether the group is a good fit for your needs and goals.
