Groups

Every quarter, the Counseling Center offers a variety of different groups. In group therapy, you can count on the expertise of the counselors who facilitate the group, and you can also get to know other students who are experiencing similar issues as you. Our therapy groups are designed to facilitate connection, promote personal growth and self-understanding, and build resilience. A common theme for group participants is wanting to learn how to change thinking, feelings, and/or behavior to feel better about themselves and cope more effectively with life. Now more than ever, it’s so important that we find ways to connect with others and remind ourselves that we’re not alone. 

Interested in Joining?

If interested in joining a group, call (360) 650-3164 to schedule an initial phone consultation with the group facilitator who will recommend whether the group could be of benefit to you. Most groups start near the beginning of the quarter, so be sure you call within the first few weeks of classes. If a group has already started, you can ask to be placed on a waiting list for next quarter. Please note some groups require a counseling intake before joining. If this is the case for your group, the facilitator will schedule the intake appointment with you during your consultation. Joining a Counseling Center group can be incredibly beneficial, however you must commit to attending the group each week of the quarter! Please consider if this is a reasonable commitment for you.
