Short-Term Therapy Groups

A key piece in the three-pronged treatment plan at Ephesians, clients can participate in group therapy sessions as a complement or an alternative to individual therapy. In group therapy sessions, professional counselors conduct educational, therapeutic groups designed to facilitate the healing process and to provide tools for living a healthy, balanced life. These closed, confidential groups are scheduled for a limited number of sessions, several times a year. Advanced groups include experiential processing and psychodrama. Churches are invited to host these groups.

For your growth and to respect the integrity of the group, you must commit to the entire duration of the class.

Groups vary in length as noted above.  All groups are $30 per session per person. Sliding scale is available for those with financial need. Commitment for the full length of the group is expected.  To register, call 301-439-7191 and send a check for $60 to Ephesians no later than one week prior to the date of first session.
