Online Individual Therapy Across Reunion.

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.

If you need more support than weekly therapy provides, Grouport provides the flexibility to combine care at any frequency that you’d like on the schedule and duration that works for your needs. So, for example many people combine individual therapy with group therapy at various levels of frequencies, or they combine couples therapy with individual therapy, or family therapy with individual therapy etc… It’s normal to combine therapy options or increase session frequency during difficult periods. For higher levels of support, Grouport also offers a virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) with 10 sessions per week which consists of nine group therapy sessions plus one-three individual therapy sessions per week depending on which IOP plan you choose. We're committed to matching you with the right level of care that fits your needs.

Absolutely, many people see multiple therapists at the same time to work on different challenges, or they combine group therapy with individual therapy due to its complimentary benefits, or if they need more intensive and a higher frequency of care. So, it's totally up to you and it's common to see multiple therapists or do multiple therapy sessions at once. We're happy to discuss your specific situation to determine what makes sense for your care.

Feeling worse temporarily is actually common when starting therapy and often indicates the work is beginning. This happens because addressing avoided issues brings them to surface, discussing painful experiences can be emotionally draining, old coping mechanisms are challenged before new ones are solid, and increased awareness of patterns can initially feel overwhelming. This is often part of the healing process as things often feel worse before they get better. However, talk to your therapist if you're concerned. They can adjust the pace, provide additional coping support, or modify the approach. If distress is severe or prolonged beyond a few weeks, your therapist may recommend a different treatment approach or additional support.

Yes, individual therapy significantly improves relationships even when your partner doesn't attend. You work on understanding your relationship patterns and why they occur, identifying your contribution to conflicts, developing communication skills, setting healthy boundaries, addressing personal issues affecting the relationship (anxiety, past trauma, attachment issues), gaining insight into your partner's perspective, and determining what changes you want to make. Often when one person changes their patterns, the relationship dynamic shifts. Your therapist might eventually recommend couples therapy for issues requiring both partners' participation, but individual therapy creates substantial relationship improvement through your own personal growth.

Yes, combining therapy with self-help resources often enhances progress. Many therapists recommend specific books, worksheets, apps, or classes as therapy adjuncts. Self-help provides information and strategies, and therapy helps you apply them to your specific situation, work through resistance, and address deeper issues preventing progress. However, discuss resources with your therapist to ensure they align with your treatment approach and don't conflict with therapeutic work. Your therapist can recommend the most helpful resources for your goals. Some people use self-help first and add therapy when they need personalized support, while others do both simultaneously. Both have value independently and together.

Disagreement is not only okay, it's valuable therapeutic material. Good therapists welcome different perspectives and aren't threatened by disagreement. Tell your therapist when you disagree, and this helps them understand you better, prevents misunderstandings, strengthens the therapeutic relationship through authentic dialogue, and sometimes your disagreement reveals important insights. Your therapist might be noticing patterns you're not ready to see yet, or they might be wrong, either way, discussion clarifies. Therapists aren't authority figures dictating truth, they're collaborators offering observations for you to consider. If you feel you can't disagree with your therapist, this itself should be discussed as effective therapy requires open communication including disagreement.

Being LGBTQ+ in countries with hostility toward LGBTQ+ people is isolating and dangerous. Therapy provides affirming support you might not be able to access locally. Your therapist won't judge you and understands the unique stresses of being LGBTQ+ in unsupportive environments. Your identity is valid even if your country doesn't recognize it.

Climate change creates different impacts depending on where you live. Extreme heat. Drought. Flooding. Fires. Sea level rise. Resource scarcity. Climate anxiety is rational. Therapy validates the fear, helps you take action where you can, and cope with environmental realities you can't personally fix.

Check with HR about your mental health coverage. You might have EAP (free short-term counseling), insurance that covers therapy (in-network or out-of-network), wellness stipends you can use for therapy etc.. Use whatever benefit is most generous. EAP is often easiest to access but limited sessions. With Grouport, we offer affordable therapy options like online group therapy, online individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, IOP and more.

Yes. Grouport runs weekly video sessions on recurring schedules, and because Reunion sits at UTC+4 year-round with no daylight saving, clients in Saint-Denis, Saint-Pierre or Le Port can lock in an evening slot after the standard workday and keep the same time every week. Sessions last 45 minutes, run over HIPAA-secure video with a licensed therapist in one-on-one format, and cost $103 per session on average, billed at $448 per month. You can join right away without waiting for a GP referral or a MonSoutienPsy slot.

Reunion uses the euro as a French overseas department, and $103 USD lands around 95 euros per weekly session depending on the day's rate. For that price you get a 45-minute individual therapy session with a licensed therapist over HIPAA-secure video, billed at $448 per month rather than as an upfront package. It sidesteps the out-of-pocket cost of private psychology sessions outside the capped MonSoutienPsy scheme, and you can join right away instead of waiting roughly 20 weeks for a specialist outpatient slot.
