Individual therapy that arrives faster than a Better Access referral.

For group sessions, most clients select their group directly upon signing up so they are matched right away. For private therapy sessions, like individual therapy or couples therapy etc. Most clients are matched with a licensed therapist within 24- 72 hours of signing up. This quick turnaround is one of Grouport's key advantages over traditional in person therapy, where wait times average 8-12 weeks nationally. A dedicated care coordinator will get in touch with you upon signup to get you situated with the care that fits your schedule and goals. Once matched, you'll receive access to your sessions either through our member portal or through weekly session links that are emailed to your inbox 24-hrs before each session. You can typically schedule your first session within the same week upon signing up allowing you to start therapy right away rather than waiting months.

We don't currently accept insurance directly. Grouport provides affordable care without pre-approvals or referrals. If you have out-of-network benefits, you may be able to submit for reimbursement depending on your plan. We can provide receipts upon request that you can submit for out of network reimbursement.

Many Grouport clients successfully get reimbursed through their out-of-network mental health benefits. Upon request, we can provide a detailed superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Reimbursement rates typically range from 50-80% depending on your specific plan. To determine your out of network reimbursement coverage, call or email your insurance company and ask: "What are my out-of-network mental health benefits?" and "What percentage do you reimburse for out-of-network therapy (for the specific service you’re interested in)?"

Online individual therapy provides the same evidence-based treatment and therapeutic relationship as in-person therapy does. The only difference is the location of whether you meet with your therapist via secure video chat rather than in an office. Research consistently shows online therapy is equally effective for most conditions. Benefits of online therapy include no commute time, attending from home comfort, easier scheduling, access to specialists regardless of location, and maintained consistency when traveling. Some people find online sessions more comfortable as they're in a familiar environment. The therapeutic relationship, treatment approaches, and outcomes are equivalent between online and in-person formats.

Grouport presents you therapist options based on your needs and you ultimately choose the therapist and schedule that works for you to meet. What makes a good fit is specialization in your concerns (trauma, anxiety, relationships, etc.), therapeutic approach that resonates with you (structured CBT, exploratory psychodynamic, skills-based DBT), communication style you're comfortable with, and personal factors like age, gender, or cultural background if preferences exist. When presenting you with therapist options, we take this all into account. Most importantly, you should feel heard, understood, and safe to be vulnerable. Therapeutic fit develops over 2-3 sessions so give it some time before deciding. If after several sessions you don't feel connected, switching therapists is always an option. The relationship is the foundation of effective therapy.

Not knowing what to discuss is common, especially early in therapy. Your therapist guides conversation through questions and observations, so you're never responsible for just filling the time. Start with what's on your mind that day, even if it seems small. Many breakthrough moments come from exploring seemingly minor concerns. Between sessions, some people journal or note what they want to discuss. If you're truly blank, your therapist might review homework from last session, check in on previous topics, introduce a relevant exercise or assessment, explore patterns they've noticed, or discuss your goals. Silence is okay too and sometimes quiet moments lead to insights. Trust the process and don’t put too much pressure on yourself.

Most people attend weekly initially, especially when addressing active symptoms or crises. Weekly sessions build momentum, maintain continuity, and allow consistent progress. After significant improvement (typically seen in a minimum of 8-16 weeks), many reduce to bi-weekly sessions for maintenance and ongoing support. Some people attend multiple times per week like twice or three times weekly for intensive work on severe symptoms. Frequency depends on symptom severity, goals, progress, and practical factors like schedule and cost. Consistency matters more than frequency as sporadic sessions are less effective than regular attendance even if less frequent. Your therapist can weigh in and recommend optimal frequency for your situation and help you adjust as your needs change.

Trauma from abuse, assault, violence, accidents, natural disasters, war, or other experiences affects people globally. Trauma therapy addresses PTSD symptoms, helps you process traumatic memories, and supports healing. Trauma is trauma regardless of where it happened or what cultural context you're in.

Substance use problems are common everywhere. Different substances are more common in different places, but addiction follows similar patterns. Therapy addresses underlying reasons for substance use, helps develop coping skills, and supports recovery. Some countries have more treatment resources than others, but therapy is helpful regardless.

Specialized therapy (EMDR, DBT programs, eating disorder treatment, intensive outpatient programs) often costs more than general therapy. The good thing though is Grouport charges the same rates for therapy irrespective of the type of specialization, meaning the cost is just by the type of therapy service if you’re doing group therapy, individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, IOP, a combination of things, or a self guided program. Sometimes intensive but expensive treatment upfront saves money long-term by resolving issues faster than years of regular therapy.
