Online Individual Therapy Reaching Every Corner of French Guiana.

You’ll need a device with a camera and microphone such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer along with a stable internet connection. Grouport's platform works on most modern devices and browsers. If you can video call with friends or family, you can attend Grouport therapy sessions. Many of our sessions happen within our member portal, in which case it uses our proprietary video chat technology. If the session doesn’t happen within our member portal, many of our sessions also happen over Zoom’s HIPAA compliant platform, so in that case you would have to download zoom which you can do for free.

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 want you to feel comfortable with your therapist, so switching therapists is always an option at any time. Simply contact our support team at support@grouporttherapy.com, and we'll match you with a different therapist from there. We’ll present you alternative therapist options and time slots that fit your preferences, and you’ll ultimately select which therapist you’d like to switch to. So the choice is always yours in terms of who you are meeting with and when. We understand that therapeutic fit is personal and that finding the right fit is essential, so we’ll be happy to work with you to ensure you’re in the optimal fit and are satisfied with your care. This type of flexibility that we provide in switching therapists or groups easily is one of the many benefits of Grouport. You can switch as many times as needed to find the right match.

If your schedule changes temporarily, that’s totally normal and missing a couple of sessions here and there like 2-3 sessions is acceptable as long as there's commitment to return. If missing session is happening a lot due to your scheduling changes, talk to a care coordinator about switching to a different group time that works better for your schedule and they’ll be sure to assist. This is precisely why we allow to switch individual sessions at any time as we know scheduling changes do happen. Or pause and return later when it's convenient for you. Life changes and schedules shift, so it's important that you find a group that works for you and your schedule.

Absolutely, we have specific individual sessions geared to Trauma & PTSD. So for trauma we would recommend a trauma group. We also find that Dialectical Behavior Therapy “DBT” individual sessions are often also helpful for trauma & PTSD. The shared experience among trauma survivors is healing and realizing you're not alone in what happened or how it affected you is essential for progress. Trauma individual sessions are usually structured carefully so that you can process trauma effectively, and they can include specific trauma techniques like EMDR or rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Temporary discomfort after group can happen, especially initially or after intense sessions. Sometimes processing difficult stuff is uncomfortable initially. Emotions can get elevated. If you consistently feel worse, discuss with the group therapist, perhaps they can adjust the approach, or you may need additional individual support which we can help you with, or assess whether this group is the right fit. Most people find initial discomfort decreases as individual sessions become familiar. The goal is growth through challenge and the therapist monitors carefully to ensure group is therapeutic and not harmful. Therapy shouldn't leave you consistently feeling worse, but sometimes hard work is in fact a sign of healing and it can come before you feel better.

Yes. Grouport delivers individual therapy in English over HIPAA-compliant video to clients in over 200 countries worldwide. There is no residency requirement. Sessions run on rolling schedules across US time zones, which lines up naturally with most international time zones for morning or evening sessions. Payment is in USD, which is easier to plan around than local-currency clinical rates that fluctuate with exchange rates. Your therapist is a licensed clinician who is used to working with international clients.

Work culture varies by country. Some countries have intense work demands, limited worker protections, or expectations that harm mental health. Whether you're dealing with burnout, toxic workplace, career pressure, or unemployment stress, therapy addresses work-related mental health impacts regardless of where you live.

Financial stress affects mental health everywhere. Therapy helps you cope with the anxiety and depression that come with economic insecurity. If money is tight, group therapy costs less than individual therapy so that might be a great way to affordably access therapy. Through our platform, we want therapy to be accessible.

Sometimes. If your medical expenses (including therapy) exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income, you might be able to deduct the excess on your taxes. Most people don't hit that threshold. Using HSA/FSA gives you tax savings another way through pre-tax dollars. Consult a tax professional about your specific situation.
