Expert 1:1 Care
Getting to a therapist in Slovenia is difficult before you even factor in specialization. Public psychotherapy through ZZZS routinely runs past sixteen weeks, private clinicians cluster in Ljubljana and Maribor, and with only 2.12 mental health workers per 100,000 residents the pool is small across a country of 2.13 million. Finding one actually trained in the approach a specific situation needs (CBT for panic, ERP for OCD, EMDR for trauma, DBT skills for emotion regulation, ACT for chronic anxiety, IFS for complex depression, or steady work on grief, burnout, bipolar, ADHD, an eating disorder, relationship strain, or whatever else someone is carrying) narrows the field further. Grouport is built for exactly that. After a short signup you review clinician options fitted to your situation, pick the therapist you want to work with, and typically get started within 24 to 72 hours. Weekly 45-minute one-on-one video sessions run over secure HIPAA-compliant video at $103 per session on average ($448 per month), with automatic discounts included for every additional weekly session.

Understanding the landscape of mental health care access and the challenges
residents face.
15.4% of Slovenian adults live with a mental health condition each year, reflecting the ongoing need for accessible therapy options.
11 weeks the average wait to secure a first mental health appointment in Slovenia's public system, an interval during which symptoms often deepen.
$28,698 median household income in Slovenia, shaping what households can allocate to private mental health care.
68.0% of Slovenian adults with a mental health condition do not receive formal specialist treatment.
96% of Slovenia's mental health workforce falls short of what is needed to fully meet population demand for specialist care.
2.12 per 100,000 mental health workers in Slovenia, a density that shapes availability, wait times, and access across the country.
Slovenia's headline numbers point directly at the model Grouport is built around. With roughly 2.12 mental health workers per 100,000 people serving 2.13 million residents, and public psychotherapy queues stretching past 16 weeks, most Slovenians who need consistent one-on-one care cannot get it quickly through ZZZS. The private sector fills part of the gap but concentrates in Ljubljana and Maribor and bills out-of-pocket in euros, which prices out or geographically excludes many rural and lower-income clients. Very high English proficiency, uniform CET scheduling, and near-universal broadband make weekly video therapy a natural fit. Grouport turns those conditions into a licensed therapist Slovenia clients can start with this week for $103 per session on average, billed at $448 per month.
UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGE
With 2.12 mental health workers per 100,000 people, Slovenia sits well below the EU-15 average of roughly 50 per 100,000. The provider pool is concentrated in three teaching hospitals (Ljubljana, Maribor, Celje), and the state health insurance fund (ZZZS) reimburses a fixed number of psychotherapy hours per region. When that quota is filled, patients wait, often the full 11 weeks or longer before the first intake session. Private practice in Ljubljana quotes €60 to €90 per hour, pushing sustained weekly work out of reach for most households.
For a working adult in Slovenia, a 16-week wait for public psychotherapy is nearly four months of anxiety, low mood, insomnia, or grief handled alone while the calendar moves. Private appointments in Ljubljana usually mean half a day off work, parking near the city center, and per-session bills in euros that shift month to month. Rural residents from Prekmurje or the Kocevje region can spend two to four hours round-trip just to reach a specialist. With only 2.12 mental health workers per 100,000 people, that pressure is baked into the system. Grouport removes the wait, the drive, and the billing uncertainty, dropping a licensed clinician into a weekly video slot the client already keeps free.
Grouport gives clients in Slovenia something the local system does not reliably provide: a licensed therapist trained in the specific approach a situation calls for, working with them one-on-one every week, and starting typically within 24 to 72 hours of signup. After a short intake, clients see clinician options fitted to what they are working through, whether that is OCD, PTSD, panic, depression, grief, complex trauma, bipolar, ADHD, an eating disorder, addiction recovery, or a life transition that has quietly become unmanageable, and choose the therapist they want to work with rather than being assigned. Sessions run 45 minutes over HIPAA-compliant video with the same clinician week after week, so the work compounds instead of restarting each time a Ljubljana or Maribor waitlist reshuffles. Pricing is $103 per session on average ($448 per month), predictable in USD instead of moving euro-denominated per-session bills, with frequency you can step up during heavier stretches and pull back when things stabilize, plus automatic discounts included for every additional weekly session.
96% of Slovenia's mental health workforce falls short of what is needed to fully meet population demand for specialist care.
Grouport loosens three specific frictions Slovenia clients run into. First, the public-sector wait for psychotherapy through ZZZS commonly stretches past 16 weeks, and Grouport replaces that queue with a licensed therapist booked this week. Second, specialist mental health providers cluster in Ljubljana and Maribor, so a resident of Prekmurje, the Kocevje region, or a Julian Alps village would otherwise drive hours for an in-person appointment; national online reach removes the trip entirely. Third, because psychotherapy is not a regulated health profession in Slovenia and much private care is paid out-of-pocket in euros, the flat $103 per session and $448 monthly subscription in USD gives predictable, transparent pricing that plans easily for a full course of care.
Slovenia's formal mental health landscape runs through the Health Insurance Institute of Slovenia (ZZZS), community health centers (zdravstveni domovi), regional psychiatric hospitals, university counseling services, employer EAPs, and a growing private psychology and psychotherapy sector concentrated in Ljubljana and Maribor. The Mental Health Programme MIRA 2018 to 2028 has begun building community mental health centers, but rollout has been uneven outside the two largest urban regions. Grouport sits alongside those options as the missing piece for many Slovenia clients: an weekly one-on-one hour with a licensed therapist, started right after intake at $103 per session or $448 per month, without joining a queue or driving to a clinic.
Grouport gives Slovenia residents immediate access to individual therapy at $103 per session on average (billed at $448 per month), 50 to 60 percent below the global average of $150 to $250 per session that private one-on-one therapy typically runs in higher-income markets. Every-other-week scheduling is available at $224 per month for clients who prefer a lighter cadence. Pricing is set in USD as a flat subscription rather than a variable per-session invoice in euros, which makes a full course of care easy to plan month over month against a Slovenian household budget.
Slovenia's GNI per capita sits near $31,790 (Atlas method) and roughly $56,960 in PPP terms, so household budgets carry real weight even in a high-income economy. Private psychotherapy in Ljubljana or Maribor typically runs in euros per session and is not reimbursed by ZZZS, which turns a weekly commitment into a moving monthly bill. Grouport's $103 per session on average, billed at $448 per month subscription (or $224 every-other-week) is a single, predictable USD line item that covers four sessions with the same licensed clinician. That predictability is what makes a three, six, or twelve month course of care realistic to budget for, rather than an open-ended expense a client scales back the moment a heavier month lands.
In-person therapy in Slovenia carries costs that never appear on the invoice. A cross-Ljubljana appointment during working hours can mean 30 to 60 minutes each way on LPP buses at €1.30 per Urbana tap or in traffic, parking fees near the city center, and often a half-day of lost work. Rural clients from Prekmurje, the Kocevje region, or the Julian Alps can spend two to four hours round-trip plus fuel or a rental car. Private billing arrives in euros per session with month-to-month variability, and finding a licensed clinician with openings adds another search. Grouport folds all of that into one predictable USD subscription, delivered over HIPAA-compliant video from home, with the ability to cancel anytime.
Slovenia's public-sector psychotherapy queues commonly run past 16 weeks, and even private clinicians in Ljubljana with capacity frequently book several weeks out. Grouport's intake is short and matching happens right away, so the first weekly 45 minute session usually lands within days rather than months. For Slovenia clients ready to start now, a licensed Grouport therapist is available this week at $103 per session or $448 per month over HIPAA-compliant video, with the same clinician holding the appointment week after week.

Stephanie

“Grouport is time flexible and affordable and if it didn’t exist, I don’t know where I would go. I had looked into other places before Grouport and there really wasn’t any option like it.”
Michael

“I highly recommend this to anyone who is struggling with anxiety or depression. The therapists are top notch and have made me feel really comfortable and my anxiety has improved tremendously in only a few sessions!”
Isabel

"I joined Grouport to work on myself and to heal. I’m learning so much at every session! The change I see not only in myself but in my fellow group members is abundantly encouraging and profoundly fulfilling. Group therapy with Grouport is a powerful healing tool."
Sheldon

“I was feeling very down at the end of 2020 and I was ready to do something drastic that I know I'd likely regret. The group definitely helped show me that there are people who feel the same way as I do.”
Nancy

“The therapy from Grouport is high quality and convenient. I am becoming much more self aware and am liking myself more. My relationships at work are better and I’m much happier.”
Emily

“I like the connection you can make with total strangers and the confidentiality it comes with.”
Danielle

"Grouport can help you with your issues. Their therapists are well trained to work with you on your issues. I felt my anxiety greatly improve after only a few sessions. I highly recommend it!"
Glenn

"Grouport's approach to DBT is a real strength. This approach provides tools and methods for working with difficult emotions and getting a handle on them. It has given me hope where other approaches have failed."

Our therapists represent a wide range of clinical specialties & diverse backgrounds. They all undergo the most stringent credentialing process. Grouport therapists are caring, expert mental health professionals with years of experience helping people get the tools they need to see long-lasting change.
Grouport's bench is made up of licensed psychologists, LCSWs, LMFTs, LMHCs, LPCs, PsyDs, and PhDs, each with graduate training in specific evidence-based approaches (CBT, DBT, EMDR, ERP, exposure therapy, IFS, ACT, and trauma-focused modalities) and years of one-on-one clinical experience. After a short signup, Slovenia clients are shown clinician options fitted to their specific situation and pick the therapist they want to work with, rather than being assigned whoever happens to be free that week. That means someone working through OCD sees clinicians trained in ERP, someone with complex trauma sees therapists who actually run EMDR or IFS, and someone in a grief or life-transition stretch sees clinicians who specialize there. Sessions run over secure HIPAA-compliant video in English, which fits Slovenia's very high proficiency ranking on the EF English Proficiency Index but works across the spectrum for anyone comfortable enough to hold a conversation with their therapist. Every session is fully confidential.

Grouport licensed therapists treat a wide range of mental health conditions and life challenges, including: anxiety disorders, OCD, depression and mood disorders, relationship and family conflicts, grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, anger management, borderline personality disorder (BPD), bipolar disorder, stress management, life transitions, parenting challenges, communication issues, self-esteem concerns, chronic illness, DBT skills for emotion regulation and more. Whatever you’re dealing with, we’ll have a therapist fit who specializes in your needs and would be the right fit for you. We have plenty of therapist and online group therapy options to choose from. Our licensed therapists utilized evidence based techniques where appropriate like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Response Prevention Therapy (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Interpersonal Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). If you need help finding care for your specific challenges, contact us, and we’ll be sure to assist you and relay the relevant therapy options.
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.
Absolutely. You don't need a mental health diagnosis to benefit from therapy. Many people attend therapy for general stress management, improving relationships, navigating life transitions, personal growth and self-understanding, developing better coping strategies, increasing self-confidence, processing difficult experiences, making important decisions, or simply having support during challenging times. Therapy is for anyone wanting to improve their mental health or quality of life. While diagnoses are sometimes helpful to pinpoint the correct treatment, they're not required for effective treatment. Many clients never receive a formal diagnosis and still experience significant benefit from therapy.
These terms describe different mental health professionals: Therapist is a general term for licensed mental health providers including LCSWs, LMFTs, LMHCs, LPCs, psychologists such as PhD/PsyD - anyone licensed therapist providing psychological therapy. Psychologist has a PhD or PsyD in psychology, and cannot prescribe medication. Psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD/DO) specializing in mental health who can prescribe medication and sometimes provides therapy, though most focus primarily on medication management. Grouport therapists are licensed professionals (LCSW, LMFT, LMHC, PhD, PsyD, LPC) providing evidence-based therapy. If you need medication, we can help refer you to a prescriber.
Signs therapy is working include symptoms decreasing in frequency or intensity, using coping skills outside sessions, noticing patterns before they escalate, feeling more in control of emotions, relationships improving, increased self-awareness and understanding of your patterns, accomplishing goals you set in therapy, handling difficult situations more effectively, and generally feeling better about life. Progress isn't always linear and some weeks are harder than others. Your therapist regularly checks progress toward goals and adjusts treatment as needed. If you're not noticing any improvement after 8-12 sessions, discuss this with your therapist and they can modify the approach or help you consider whether different treatment might be more effective.
Yes, absolutely, you can switch therapists at anytime and for any reason. Therapeutic fit is crucial for progress, and switching therapists is a normal part of finding the right match. Simply contact Grouport support at support@grouporttherapy.com, and we'll provide you alternative therapist options typically within 24-48 hours and you can choose the therapist you’d like to switch to at no cost or penalty. You don't need to explain or have an awkward conversation, we understand fit is totally personal. Your new therapist will have access to your needs and any relevant intake information to ensure continuity. Sometimes it takes more than one try to find the right fit, and sometimes people need to try 2-3 therapists before finding the right connection. Don't stay with a therapist who isn't working for you as the relationship is foundational, and you deserve to feel comfortable and supported with a therapist your happy with.
Eating disorders and body image struggles are common. Cultural beauty standards vary, which affects how body image issues manifest. Whether you're dealing with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, or body dysmorphia, therapy provides eating disorder treatment. These are serious mental health conditions that people experience globally.
Workplace discrimination based on gender, race, age, disability, religion, or other factors happens in many countries. Employment protections vary, but the mental health impact is real. Therapy helps you cope with the stress of workplace discrimination and navigate difficult challenges and decisions.
Specialized therapy (EMDR, DBT programs, eating disorder treatment, intensive outpatient programs) often costs more than general therapy. The good thing though is Grouport charges the same rates for therapy irrespective of the type of specialization, meaning the cost is just by the type of therapy service if you’re doing group therapy, individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, IOP, a combination of things, or a self guided program. Sometimes intensive but expensive treatment upfront saves money long-term by resolving issues faster than years of regular therapy.
Yes. Grouport runs weekly 45-minute one-on-one video sessions with a licensed therapist, and you can schedule evening slots in Central European Time that fit after a standard Slovenian workday that typically wraps between 16:00 and 17:00. Whether you finish a shift in Ljubljana, close a laptop in Maribor, or step away from a workshop in Kranj, you can log in from home over a HIPAA-secure link. Sessions are $103 each on average, billed at $448 per month, and you can start right away.
Public-sector waits for clinical psychology through ZZZS commonly stretch 16 weeks or longer, and access is thinner outside Ljubljana and Maribor. Grouport skips that queue with an immediate start, so a resident of Prekmurje, Koper, or the Julian Alps can begin weekly one-on-one sessions this week rather than in the winter. Each 45-minute session is with a licensed therapist over HIPAA-secure video at $103 on average, billed at $448 per month, with no referral, no travel to a zdravstveni dom, and no months on a list.
