Grouport serves teens/adolescents (ages 11+), adults, couples, and families. Our teen therapy program consists of group therapy, individual therapy, and family therapy, or a combination based on what’s appropriate and the level of care your teen needs. So teens often combine group therapy + individual therapy at the level that meets their needs or they do our intensive outpatient program for more acute needs.

Yes, therapy is highly effective for relationship issues or for navigating the lack of relationships or desire to build more meaningful relationships. Our couples therapy helps partners improve communication, resolve conflicts, rebuild trust, navigate life transitions, and strengthen their connection. Family therapy addresses parent-child conflicts, sibling issues, blended family challenges, and communication breakdowns. Even individual therapy can significantly improve relationships by helping you understand patterns, set boundaries, communicate effectively, and address personal issues affecting your relationships. Our relationship issues groups, focus on navigating the challenges in relationships, specific relationships you’d like to personally focus on, or navigating the lack of relationships and the desire to strengthen certain relationships. We also provide couples groups where couples can work in a therapist-led group setting with other couples to navigate couples dynamics together. Many clients find that relationship issues improve relatively quickly once they learn and practice new communication skills with therapeutic support.

Yes, therapy can definitely help you address self-esteem challenges. Your therapist will help you identify where the low self esteem is coming from and what are the right approaches whether cognitive, behavioral or psychodynamic in nature to address these recurring feelings that keep on holding you back. Online therapy will help you build genuine confidence over time. It will likely require deep work on your beliefs about yourself and isn’t a simple quick fix. You’ll learn how to identify these unhealthy thought patterns and challenge negative self-talk, so that you can have a healthier perspective on things. Most people notice improvement in their self-esteem within 3-6 months of consistent therapy.

This is normal, and many people worry about being judged at first. This fear is likely holding you back and may be even a barrier for you seeking therapy in the first place. Therapists are specifically trained to be non-judgemental and they hear about all kinds of challenges all day long. So rest assured that any adept therapist will meet you with compassion and empathy. You don’t have to open up about everything right away, but you will go at your own pace and build trust over time. Being vulnerable in therapy is one of the many benefits that leads to sustained progress over time rather than keeping everything bottled up, so it's important to have someone you can trust to speak with and that they can provide professional guidance to you to help navigate all kinds of challenging situations.

Yes, many people continue therapy as part of their wellness routine. You don’t just stop going to the gym after you see results, but it's typically about how can you maintain the consistency to see sustained results over time. Many people continue with ongoing support to prevent relapse and work on personal growth, or to manage chronic conditions. So you can continue therapy for as long as you're benefiting and the duration at which you partake in therapy is totally a personal decision. Your therapy or treatment plan can likely change over time, and the topics that you're focusing on can certainly be different at different junctures. So trust what’s best for you, and if you want your therapist to weigh in on whether you should continue, stop, or do something different they can absolutely be a sounding board to discuss that through with you and help you make an informed decision.

Academic pressure affects students everywhere, though it varies by culture and education system. Whether you're dealing with exam stress, family pressure about grades, competitive academic environments, or fear of failure, therapy helps with the anxiety and perfectionism that academic pressure creates.

Family pressure about career, marriage, children, or life choices exists across cultures. Some cultures have particularly intense family expectations. Therapy helps you navigate family pressure, set boundaries, and make choices that are right for you even when family disagrees.

A superbill is a detailed receipt with information your insurance needs for reimbursement. You submit this to your insurance company's out-of-network claims process. They review it and reimburse you based on your plan's out-of-network mental health benefits.

Yes. Grouport Individual Therapy runs year-round, so you can hold your weekly one-on-one video session through French bank holidays and the traditional August grandes vacances period when many local practices in Paris, Lyon, and Marseille scale back. Sessions are 45 minutes with your licensed clinician, and because we operate across time zones, you can reschedule to a different weekday or evening slot in Central European Time if a jour ferie or a summer trip interrupts your usual time at 103 EUR per week.

After a short intake, you match with a licensed clinician (psychologist, LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, LPC, PsyD, or PhD) and start right away, no six week CMP wait or Mon Soutien Psy referral required. Your first 45 minute session runs on HIPAA-compliant video in English from anywhere in France, whether you are in central Paris or a rural department. Your clinician reviews goals, history, and a working plan, and confirms your weekly cadence at 103 EUR per session or 448 EUR monthly.
