Individual therapy for French Polynesia, without the flight to Papeete.

A stable internet connection of at least 3 Mbps is recommended for video sessions. If video connection isn't working well for some reason, you can always switch to audio-only during the session.

Yes\! You can attend over video chat on any smartphone. While we recommend video on a computer or laptop for the best therapeutic experience, you can attend sessions by any smartphone as well. Additionally, you can also attend sessions by audio only if needed, though we recommend to join by video for the best experience.

Getting started is easy. First, visit grouporttherapy.com and click "Get Started". This will take you to https://www.grouporttherapy.com/service-types, to first select which type of therapy you’re interested in and to complete a brief intake form about your therapy goals and preferences. Then, we'll match you with a licensed therapist/your group based on your needs and any specific requests you may have. After signing up, a care coordinator will get in touch with you via email &/or phone to walk you through available therapists and scheduling. You’ll make the final choice about your care, including which therapists you’ll meet with and when based on your preferences and schedule. You'll then be confirmed for your sessions, and be able to attend your sessions weekly over video chat.

Yes, and we make it easy. Fit between client and therapist matters a lot for therapy outcomes, so if the first therapist you're matched with doesn't feel like a good fit after a session or two, you can request a new match at no additional cost. We have licensed clinicians across specialties, styles, and demographics, so there's usually a stronger match available. Just let our care coordinators know and we'll re-match you.

Grouport is a self-pay service and does not currently bill insurance directly. However, many clients receive partial reimbursement through their insurance's out-of-network mental health benefits or through HSA/FSA accounts. We can provide a superbill (an itemized receipt with diagnosis codes) that you submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. The pricing ($103 per weekly session, $448/month) is often below what a single self-pay in-network session costs after deductibles, so the direct cost is competitive even before any reimbursement.

There's no fixed duration for individual therapy with Grouport. Some clients work with a therapist for 8 to 12 sessions (about 2 to 3 months) to address a specific concern like an acute anxiety episode or a life transition, then pause. Others use ongoing weekly therapy as long-term maintenance for years. Most therapists recommend 8 to 12 sessions minimum to assess whether therapy is working, but the choice is always yours. There's no long-term commitment required, and you can pause or cancel anytime.

Grouport therapists cannot prescribe medication since they are licensed therapists (LCSW, LMFT, LMHC, PhD, PsyD, LPC), not psychiatrists or medical doctors. However, many clients see both a Grouport therapist and a prescriber for combined treatment, and research shows therapy plus medication is often more effective than either alone for conditions like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Your therapist can coordinate care with your prescriber if you're already taking medication, and can help you find a prescriber if you need one.

Big life changes, moving, career shifts, relationship changes, becoming a parent, dealing with empty nest, retirement, create stress anywhere. Therapy supports you through transitions, helps you adapt to change, and processes grief about what you're leaving behind.

If you're in a country with limited healthcare, expensive medical care, or healthcare you don't trust, that creates legitimate anxiety. Therapy can't fix healthcare systems but helps you cope with the fear about medical access and make plans for health emergencies. If the access pertains to mental health care access, that’s what we help with directly through all our therapy options.

Yes, absolutely. Research backs this up, online group therapy works for depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, relationship issues, and more. You get peer support, multiple perspectives, practice social skills, and realization you're not alone. Individual therapy provides more personalized attention and privacy. Many people benefit from both since they are complementary to each other, group for community and individual for personal work. Group is just a different format with unique benefits.

Grouport sessions happen from your home over a HIPAA-secure video link, so no one at CHPF, a Pirae clinic, or your village needs to know you're in therapy. Your individual care of one-on-one members is drawn from across our international footprint, not from Tahiti or the Tuamotus, meaning the people in your therapist won't overlap with your neighbors, colleagues, or family circles. That cross-border composition, combined with weekly meetings led by a licensed therapist for $103 per session, gives you a discreet space that feels genuinely separate from island life.

You join right away rather than sitting on another waitlist, and most members use their first 2-3 weekly sessions to evaluate fit. In that window you'll meet your licensed therapist, hear how the one-on-one person individual care interacts, and test whether the format helps you open up. If it's not the right match, you can switch groups or end at any time, no long commitment required. At $103 per session, or roughly 3,500 XPF, the trial period costs a fraction of a private consultation in Tahiti and starts producing insight immediately.
