Individual therapy that reaches every atoll of Tuvalu.

Yes\! You can attend over video chat on any smartphone. While we recommend video on a computer or laptop for the best therapeutic experience, you can attend sessions by any smartphone as well. Additionally, you can also attend sessions by audio only if needed, though we recommend to join by video for the best experience.

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.

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.

Absolutely. Therapy isn't only for problems. Many people attend for personal growth and self-actualization. Therapy can help with personal growth by deepening self-understanding, improving relationships, and helping you break through plateaus in personal development. The goal is becoming your best self, not necessarily fixing something broken. Many high-functioning people attend therapy to optimize certain areas in their life. Just like people have personal trainers, therapy helps anyone wanting to grow in any important areas in their life.

Feeling stuck can be common and worth discussing directly with your therapist. Your therapist will take this into account and unpack why progress may be stalling. Perhaps they need to adjust their approach, or maybe progress is happening faster than you think. Your therapist will help you assess if you’re putting in the relevant work outside of sessions to adhere to treatment. Sometimes being stuck comes right before breakthroughs take effect. Your therapist will help you reassess your goals and try different approaches where relevant. Progress isn't always sequential and sometimes it requires additional patience and consistent adherence to treatment before results are realized.

Yes, individual therapy is valuable during divorce for processing grief and loss, managing anxiety and overwhelming emotions, making important decisions (custody, finances, living arrangements), coping with change and uncertainty, addressing anger or resentment productively, supporting children through the transition, establishing your identity outside the marriage, managing conflict with your ex, and planning for your post-divorce life. Divorce is one of life's most stressful experiences, and therapy provides essential support during this transition. Your therapist maintains neutrality about divorce decisions but supports you through whatever you choose. Many people attend therapy intensively during divorce then reduce frequency after things stabilize.

Grief happens to everyone. Loss of loved ones. Loss of relationships. Loss of opportunities. Cultural rituals around grief vary, but the pain is universal. Therapy provides space to mourn and process grief in ways that fit your cultural background and beliefs.

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.

It varies a lot. Grouport's individual therapy costs less than traditional in-person therapy, which typically runs $150-$300+ per session depending on where you live. For example, Grouport’s individual therapy sessions average $103/session. Online group therapy is more affordable, Grouport's group therapy is $25- $35/session or $448/month total, that’s less than the cost of one in person individual therapy session. What surprises a lot of people is that self-pay rates are usually cheaper than going through insurance after you factor in copays and deductibles. Online platforms often cost less than in-person because there's no office overhead to pay for. Not to mention, Grouport offers discounts when you combine sessions together or are doing more than one session per week.

Yes. Grouport's weekly 45-minute video sessions are one-on-one with a licensed therapist trained to work with clients whose faith is central to their lives, including the strong Christian traditions that guide most Tuvaluan families and villages. You are free to share what your church community and cultural values mean to you, and your therapist integrates those beliefs into the work rather than sidelining them. At $103 per session on average, billed at $448 per month, sessions from Funafuti or an outer island offer a discreet space outside the close-knit island setting where anonymity can be limited.

Yes. Grouport runs on standard HIPAA-secure video and works over the fibre and 4G connections now available across Funafuti, with mobile data reaching most outer-island households. You need a smartphone, tablet, or laptop with a camera and roughly 1 to 2 Mbps of bandwidth, which most local mobile and broadband plans comfortably deliver. Weekly 45-minute one-on-one sessions run at fixed times aligned with your UTC+12 schedule at $103 per session on average, billed $448 per month, so you can join right away from home, a quiet office, or anywhere private, without the multi-day ship trip to Princess Margaret Hospital.
