What Is a Group Therapist?

A Group Therapist is a licensed mental health professional who specializes in facilitating therapeutic groups. They create and lead structured or process-oriented group sessions that help participants explore emotions, build skills, receive peer support, and work through shared challenges in a safe, guided setting. Group Therapists are hired by individuals seeking group-based support, clinics, community organizations, treatment programs, and employers who want to offer group therapy options. They work in private practices, community mental health centers, hospitals, outpatient programs, and increasingly through secure online platforms that host virtual therapy groups.

• A Group Therapist designs and facilitates therapeutic groups focused on specific themes or general process work.
• A Group Therapist creates a safe, confidential environment where members can share and support one another.

• Supports members in exploring emotions, relationship patterns, and personal growth within the group setting.
• Monitors individual and group progress while adapting facilitation to the needs of the members.
• Coordinates with other providers when group therapy is part of a broader treatment plan.
