About Group with Individual Therapy Programs
Participating in both individual and group therapy during an intensive 8-week program offers a powerful combination for achieving lasting change in a shorter period of time. Individual sessions provide a private space to explore personal challenges, identify root causes, and set tailored goals with your therapist, ensuring focused and meaningful progress. Group therapy, on the other hand, creates a supportive environment where you can gain perspective, practice new skills, and receive encouragement from others who truly understand your experiences. Together, these approaches reinforce one another—what you discover in individual sessions can be practiced and strengthened in group settings, leading to deeper insight, faster growth, and greater emotional resilience. By committing to an intensive format, you’re not just investing in therapy—you’re investing in accelerated transformation and the tools to sustain it long after the program ends.
Group Leader
MFC’s licensed therapist Justin Tapp (he/they), LMSW, will lead sessions. Individual therapy, using your private insurance, is also part of the program. Learn more about online sessions or in-person sessions with Justin at the Pittsburgh therapy office.
