Online Individual Therapy Across Iraq.

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.

Yes, if you need to change your recurring group therapy session time you can absolutely switch groups to one that works better for your schedule. Groups work on a set schedule so we don’t reschedule group sessions but if you can’t make a particular group session we can always add in a credit as long as it's within reason. If you need to reschedule an individual, couples, or a family therapy session, you can coordinate with your therapist and our care team to find a new time for that week - just provide advance notice. ✅ Occasional reschedules are fine, but we recommend keeping changes to a minimum for consistency. ✅ Need to change your recurring weekly time? Our team will help you adjust to a new time that fits your schedule.

No, Grouport operates on a month-to-month basis with no long-term commitments required for our therapy plans. You can cancel at anytime and you’d just finish out whichever month you’re on. This flexibility allows you to attend therapy for as long as it's helpful. Many clients continue for several months or years as they work through their goals, while others use Grouport for shorter-term support. The choice is entirely yours, and you're never obligated to continue beyond your current billing period.

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.

Absolutely, it’s common that people are partaking in multiple therapy individual sessions at once. This can be if they want to work on different things as different individual sessions can focus on different areas, or they want to have extra focus on important relevant skills, or they want to benefit from different therapist approaches, or they need more intensive care. It’s common that people are doing 2-4 individual sessions per week and if they need something more intensive, our IOP can be helpful since it includes 9 individual sessions per week. It’s totally based on what feels right for you, so trust your gut. You can always increase the amount of individual sessions you’re doing or decrease at any time.

Yes, but planned endings benefit both you and the group. If the group isn't helping after 6-8 sessions, discuss concerns with the therapist first as well as a care coordinator and sometimes the therapist can ultimately make adjustments that will result in a major difference for you. If you're certain the group isn't the right fit, you can always switch individual sessions as fit is important and dictates the quality of your experience in group. This is why we provide the flexibility to switch individual sessions at any time, and our care coordinators will work with you to make sure you’re satisfied with whichever group fit you’re in.

Some countries have limited mental health infrastructure, long waiting lists, or services that don't meet your needs. Online therapy provides access to quality care regardless of what's available locally. Many people use Grouport specifically because local options are inadequate. Our therapists specialize across the full range of mental health diagnoses and life challenges, so whatever you’re dealing with we’ll be able to get you situated with an individual therapist or in group therapy that’s right for your needs.

Yes. Moving to a new country creates adjustment stress, loneliness, identity shifts, and practical challenges. Therapy helps you navigate the transition, process what you've left behind, and build life where you are now. Moving countries is genuinely difficult even when you chose it.

Check if you qualify for Medicaid, which varies by state. Some therapists offer sliding scale for unemployed clients. Group therapy costs less than individual. Since our sessions are all online, Grouport tends to be more affordable for all therapy options we offer.

Yes. Grouport Individual Therapy is a one-on-one weekly video session with a licensed clinician, delivered over HIPAA-compliant video, so there is no waiting room, front desk, or local clinic visit that others in your household would see. Many clients in Baghdad, Basra, and Erbil use headphones in a bedroom or office for their 45 to 50 minute session. Billing appears under Grouport, not a psychiatric provider, and your clinician will not contact family members without your written consent.

Grouport Individual Therapy is $103 per weekly session, or $448 per month, with an every-other-week option at $52 per session ($224 per month). Iraq's GNI per capita (PPP) sits around $14,550, so this is a meaningful commitment, but it connects you to a licensed psychologist, LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, LPC, PsyD, or PhD over HIPAA-compliant video in English, without traveling to a private clinic in Baghdad or Erbil. You can match with a clinician and start right away after intake, with weekly 45 to 50 minute sessions.
