Individual therapy for Tokelau's three atolls, delivered by satellite.

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.

For group sessions, most clients select their group directly upon signing up so they are matched right away. For private therapy sessions, like individual therapy or couples therapy etc. most clients are matched with a licensed therapist within 24- 72 hours of signing up. This quick turnaround is one of Grouport's key advantages over traditional in person therapy, where wait times average 8-12 weeks nationally. A dedicated care coordinator will get in touch with you upon signup to get you situated with the care that fits your schedule and goals. Once matched, you'll receive access to your sessions either through our member portal or through weekly session links that are emailed to your inbox 24-hrs before each session. You can typically schedule your first session within the same week upon signing up allowing you to start therapy right away rather than waiting months.

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, anger management individual sessions are highly effective and are a tremendous help in navigating the ins and out of anger challenges. Group is ideal for anger work because you receive honest feedback about how your anger affects others, you practice managing frustration in real situations, and you learn from others' struggles and successes, and are held accountable by your peers. In addition to general anger management groups, we also find that dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) individual sessions are highly effective for anger as they help with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal skills like lashing out in relationships and rage.

Give it some time. Feeling Initial discomfort is normal. If after a couple of sessions you still feel like you’re questioning whether the group is the right fit or not, talk to a care coordinator and they can help you explore what might be best for you. Maybe a different group would be a better fit, or perhaps it's worth sticking with the group to see if it's just taking some time to ease into it, which can happen before you find your rhythm with the group. You can always switch individual sessions at any time in the event you wish to switch to another group, and a care coordinator will work with you to make sure you’re happy with your group fit.

Yes, individual sessions are driven by member experiences. So definitely bring what’s going on in your life as that can impact the topic of discussion. The therapist facilitates the flow of conversation and what time of group focuses on what, but you and other members bring in what matters to work on and that certainly gets paid attention to and becomes a focus in conversation. By bringing in your own experiences, this makes the group more relevant and enables others to chime in and present skills that could be relevant to that specific situation.

It's super common to do online individual therapy and online individual therapy together. If you feel like individual support is missing, add in individual therapy alongside the group. If you feel like you solely need to focus on individual work, switch to individual therapy if that better meets your needs. It’s really up to what’s best for your needs and treatment plan, and different formats work better based on your needs.

Burnout from work, caregiving, activism, or other demands affects people globally. Symptoms are similar across cultures, exhaustion, cynicism, reduced effectiveness. Therapy helps you address burnout, set boundaries, and figure out if you need to change your situation or just change your relationship to it.

Social anxiety, fear of social situations, worry about judgment, avoidance of social interaction is common to experience. Cultural norms affect what situations trigger anxiety, but the core condition is the same. Therapy uses evidence-based approaches to treat social anxiety regardless of cultural context.

A superbill is a detailed receipt with information your insurance needs for reimbursement. You submit this to your insurance company's out-of-network claims process. They review it and reimburse you based on your plan's out-of-network mental health benefits.

Yes. Tokelau observes UTC+13, the same clock as New Zealand summer, so Grouport's Asia-Pacific evening slots and later US evening groups land in workable local windows outside the government workday and evening church activities. Weekly 60-minute video sessions of one-on-one members meet at a fixed time each week, so you can plan around Taupulega meetings and family obligations. Sessions run over the satellite broadband recently deployed across all three atolls, and you can join right away after selecting a group for $103 per session.

Grouport's licensed therapists lead structured English-language groups using direct, skills-based conversation, which complements the Taupulega and church channels most Tokelauans already rely on. English is the co-official language of government and school, so participants across the atolls and the New Zealand diaspora can engage comfortably. The HIPAA-secure video format keeps discussions private from the tight-knit atoll community, and weekly one-on-ones of one-on-one members offer a confidential space to practice openly discussing mental health for $103 per session.
