Healing in Community: Experiential Group Therapy

Engaging with the Moment

At Barbara J Lanz Counseling Services, we do more than just sit and talk about the past. Our experiential therapy groups are designed to get you active and moving through your emotions as they happen. We use creative, hands-on exercises to help you make sense of the inner noise and complicated feelings that are often hard to put into words, making them easier to manage in a safe, supportive environment.

Growing Together

In our groups, we act as partners in your progress. We use a range of approaches, including Internal Family Systems and trauma-informed care, to help the group navigate social dynamics in real time. You will get to practice new ways of communicating and receive honest perspectives from peers who are on a similar journey. This process helps you steady your nervous system and build the emotional resilience you need for life's everyday challenges.

Healing and Growing Together

Experiential group therapy is about more than just talking through your problems. It is a space where we use active, hands-on techniques to work through the things that hold you back. You will find a supportive community that helps you feel heard and gives you the confidence to make real changes.
