Group Therapy

At AlignWell Integrative Care, group therapy is a core part of how we help clients heal. Our groups are intentionally designed to support connection, nervous system regulation, and meaningful change through an integrative, trauma-informed approach.

We believe group therapy offers something uniquely powerful: the opportunity to heal not only through insight and skill-building, but through shared experience, validation, and relational safety. Our groups provide a structured, supportive environment where individuals can explore patterns related to trauma, stress, chronic pain, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm—while learning practical tools they can apply in daily life.

Our Process

  • Geometric drawing of an outline square with sections divided by vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines.

    Biological

    Each session begins with approximately 30 minutes of gentle, alignment-focused movement designed to support nervous system regulation and enhance body awareness, establishing a foundation for deeper therapeutic engagement.

    Psychological

    Following the movement component, participants engage in psychoeducation focused on the neurobiology of trauma and pain. Experiential interventions—including photovoice, journaling, and guided reflection—help individuals safely explore the connections between physical sensations, emotional responses, and personal meaning in a paced and supportive manner.

    Social

    The sessions conclude with group processing centered on validation, compassion, and shared experience. This collaborative space encourages connection, normalization, and mutual support, reinforcing both individual insight and collective healing.

What Sets Us Apart

Our Integrative, Research-Backed Group Model

AlignWell’s group therapy services are grounded in evidence-based and research-informed practices. Our group model draws from well-established frameworks including:

  • Trauma-informed care

  • The biopsychosocial model of health

  • Somatic and nervous-system-based interventions

  • Group process and interpersonal theory

In addition to being informed by existing research, our group offerings are shaped by active, ongoing clinical research focused on interdisciplinary and integrative group interventions. Our clinicians are directly involved in studying how group-based, mind-body approaches impact regulation, pain, trauma symptoms, and overall well-being.

This means our groups are not static or “one-size-fits-all.” They are continuously refined using both clinical outcomes and emerging research, ensuring that what we offer reflects current best practices in the field.

  • “It’s amazing. [the exercises] unlocked me instantly. I mean instantly, and then the pain dropped to zero… I felt very exhausted after I left each session, but I will say the fruit, what I got out of this, was so much more. It is more than I've ever experienced in just physical therapy.”

    —Presley

  • “I have been able to accomplish more in these sessions that I do in my individual therapy sessions.”

    —Emmie

  • “I thought it was legitimately beneficial, and caused me to look at some things and finish dealing with trauma that I haven’t gone back to in many years. Participating in the group brought some things to the surface that I don’t think had been completely dealt with.”

    —Jessica

  • “I have never slept better than I have in years. The best I have slept in 20 years started because of this group.”

    —Hannah

  • “This is the first week (week 6) in 15 years that I have not gotten sick from eating. And it's not because I didn't try eating, I did. But this just typically after a meal I just started vomiting. And this was the first week in over a decade that that did not happen. I credit this group 100%.”
