An open-ended group that allows people to have a safe space to get support from other group members, to be free to explore difficult issues in their lives, and to get the opportunity to see how others agree, disagree, and view them, while talking about these issues in a way where new attitudes and feelings emerge. If you were ever curious about experiencing group therapy, this is a wonderful place to get the chance to do it.

Seeking to overcome problematic substance abuse without attending rehab or "one-size-fits-all" out-patient programs? Group counseling can be as effective, and in some cases more effective, then 1-on-1 counseling. Engaging with others in a recovery support group setting can be helpful in building confidence, establishing a sober community, and help develop perspective and motivation. Groups can be a cost-effective option to supplement counseling and a great way to get connected with others in recovery. Learn how to overcome problematic addiction and apply what you learn into daily life. Space is limited to 8 participants.

At LA Integrative Psychiatry, our practice philosophy centers around a goal-based, integrative approach to psychiatric care. This approach combines conventional and functional medicine, addressing both physical and mental health. Our treatment plans are personalized, taking into account each patient’s lifestyle, upbringing, and genetic predispositions. We focus on the concept of neuroplasticity—the brain’s lifelong ability to reorganize and grow in response to behavior and other stimuli.
