Online Individual Therapy Across Solomon Islands.

No, Grouport pricing is completely transparent with no hidden or additional fees. Your monthly subscription cost is clearly stated upfront and includes all your scheduled therapy sessions for that month. There are no extra fees, beyond whichever plan you’re on. What you see is what you pay and there are no surprises on your bill.

When you submit for insurance reimbursement, we provide a superbill that includes: your name, therapist's name and credentials, dates of services rendered, cost paid per session, and any other relevant information needed for reimbursement.

No, Grouport therapists cannot prescribe medication as they are licensed therapists (LCSW, LMFT, LMHC, PhD, PsyD, LPC), who are focused on psychological care only and are not psychiatrists or medical doctors. However, many clients see both a therapist and a prescriber (psychiatrist, psychiatric nurse practitioner, or primary care doctor) for combined treatment - research shows therapy plus medication is often an effective combination for conditions like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Your therapist can coordinate care with your prescriber if you're taking medication, and can help you find a prescriber if needed. We focus on the therapy component of your mental health care whether online group therapy, online individual therapy, online couples therapy, online family therapy, online teen therapy, or virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP).

Grouport individual therapy complements psychiatric care but does not replace it. If you are seeing a psychiatrist for medication management, ongoing psychotherapy with a Grouport licensed therapist can integrate with your psychiatric treatment. Your therapist can coordinate with your prescriber as needed. For conditions that require intensive psychiatric management (acute crisis, severe symptoms not stabilized on medication), individual therapy alone may not be sufficient — a higher level of care through your local system or an IOP may be more appropriate.

Our care coordinators can help you figure out the right fit. During intake, you'll answer a few questions about what you're working on, how it's affecting your life, and what kind of support you're looking for. If individual therapy is the right fit, we'll match you with a therapist. If a different service would help you more (Grouport also offers online group therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and an intensive outpatient program), we'll direct you to that option. There's no obligation and no cost to explore what's right for you.

Weekly sessions are the standard for individual therapy and what most Grouport clients start with. This cadence gives you enough time between sessions to try what you're working on in the real world, while keeping the momentum of the therapeutic work. Every-other-week sessions are available at a reduced monthly rate ($224/month) once you and your therapist agree that pacing fits your needs. Twice-weekly is available for clients in more acute stages of work at additional cost. You and your therapist decide what cadence fits.

Generally no. Working with two therapists at the same time (one online, one in-person) can create conflicting therapeutic direction and dilute the effectiveness of both. If you're transitioning from an in-person therapist and want to try online with Grouport, or vice versa, that's fine — many clients do. But sustained parallel therapy with two therapists is not recommended. If you need specialty care that your primary therapist doesn't offer (e.g., a psychiatrist for medication), that's a different situation, and coordinated care is welcomed.

Substance use problems are common everywhere. Different substances are more common in different places, but addiction follows similar patterns. Therapy addresses underlying reasons for substance use, helps develop coping skills, and supports recovery. Some countries have more treatment resources than others, but therapy is helpful regardless.

Anxiety and depression are global mental health conditions. They might manifest differently across cultures, but the core experiences are similar. Therapy provides evidence-based treatment for anxiety and depression that works regardless of where you live. Mental illness is real everywhere.

No long-term commitment required. Grouport operates month-to-month. Try it for a month, see if it helps, continue or cancel. Most therapists recommend giving therapy at least 8-12 sessions to really assess whether it's working, but you're not locked into contracts. Month-to-month flexibility makes it lower-risk to try. Additionally you can always switch therapists or groups at any time, so we’ll work with you to make sure you're happy with the fit.

English is the official language of government, education, and business in Solomon Islands, and proficiency is high among Honiara-based professionals, university students, civil servants, and NGO staff, exactly the segment Grouport serves best. Weekly video sessions of one-on-one members are led by licensed therapists using clear, conversational English, so if you handle work emails or lectures in English, you will follow the discussion comfortably. Sessions are $32, HIPAA-secure, and you can join right away without any language assessment.

Because kastom explanations and community talk make many Solomon Islanders reluctant to walk into Kilu'ufi Psychiatric Unit or a Honiara clinic, Grouport's private video format matters. Sessions happen from your own home or office on any island with a connection, with no waiting room, no local record, and no chance of running into a neighbor. Weekly groups of one-on-one members are led by licensed therapists, cost $103 per session, run over HIPAA-secure video, and you can join right away.
