A Supportive Space to Practice Change Together
Group therapy at Balanceworks Counseling offers a powerful opportunity to work through interpersonal challenges in real time while feeling supported, understood, and less alone with others who are navigating similar experiences. In a guided and emotionally safe environment, clients can explore patterns, strengthen communication, build coping skills, and experience new ways of relating. For many people, group provides a different kind of insight—one that emerges through connection, reflection and shared understanding.
Groups are especially helpful for individuals working toward eating disorder recovery, improving relationships, managing anxiety or depression, and developing greater self-
trust. Many clients find that the shared experience of group therapy brings a sense of validation, accountability, and connection that individual therapy alone cannot provide.
It’s common to feel unsure about starting group therapy. Many people worry about speaking in front of others or not knowing what to expect. Our groups are facilitated in a way that prioritizes emotional safety, pacing, and respect for each person’s comfort level.
We offer both therapy groups and nutrition counseling groups in person in Arlington, VA and virtually when available. Our groups often focus on areas such as eating disorders, emotion regulation, or interpersonal patterns. Some groups are process oriented, while others incorporate skills-based approaches such as DBT or RO-DBT.
