Anxiety Focused Group Therapy: Los Angeles

Our unique 6-Week Anxiety Rebel Group Course is designed specifically for adults who are ready to fundamentally change their relationship with anxiety disorders. 

Our Anti-Anxiety Group Therapy Works Differently.

 

We don't just offer coping skills we offer benefits that will change your relationship to worry.

 

We provide a strategic framework to:

  • Expose Anxiety's Game: Understand the patterns and 'rules' anxiety uses to keep you trapped in symptoms and disorders. 

  • Challenge the Process: Participants will learn powerful, clinically-informed paradoxical techniques to disrupt anxiety at its core, focusing on the how not just the what of your worries and related concerns.

  • Embrace Discomfort (Strategically!): Discover how to willingly step towards uncertainty and discomfort, turning them into catalysts for growth instead of reasons to retreat.

  • Reclaim Your Energy & Power: Move from feeling managed by anxiety to actively challenging it and taking back control of your social life and life in general.

  • Connect with Fellow Rebels: Share the journey in a supportive, confidential group setting with other members who understand.

This Isn't About Eliminating Anxiety, It's About Changing the Game.

Built on effective therapeutic principles, this course empowers you and other participants with a new perspective and actionable tools. Stop being dictated to by anxiety's demands.

Anxiety Group Therapy: A Supportive Path to Managing Worry

Are you looking for effective treatment options to help manage persistent anxiety?

 

Anxiety group therapy offers a unique and powerful approach to improving your mental health in a supportive environment. Led by an experienced therapist, this form of therapy brings together individuals who share similar challenges, creating a space where you feel understood and less alone.

Unlike individual therapy, anxiety group therapy provides the added benefit of shared experience. Hearing from others navigating similar social situations or internal struggles can be incredibly validating.

 

Our groups often incorporate principles from evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), focusing not just on theory but on practical skills development. We help you understand the common patterns anxiety uses – what we sometimes call the 'anxiety hijack' – where anxious thoughts trigger alarms and lead to unhelpful reactions like avoidance or excessive worry.

 

In our safe environment, you'll learn to recognize these cycles and develop healthier coping strategies alongside your peers.

 

This group setting provides real-time opportunities to practice new ways of relating to anxiety, improving your social anxiety, and understanding symptoms of generalized anxiety. 

Learn Effective Skills to Manage Anxiety in Our Supportive Group

Our anxiety group therapy program is specifically designed to help group members move beyond just coping with anxiety to fundamentally changing their relationship with it. We focus on providing effective treatment strategies that empower you to stop feeling trapped by worry and fear. If you feel stuck in loops of 'what-ifs' or find yourself constantly trying to control situations to avoid discomfort (the 'control trap'), this group can offer a new perspective.

We help participants develop crucial skills by shifting the focus from the content of your worries to the process of how anxiety operates.

 

In our sessions, group members  will :

  • Learn effective ways to recognize anxiety's predictable patterns and disengage from unproductive mental arguments.

  • Understand how attempts to suppress thoughts or control uncertainty often backfire, paradoxically strengthening anxiety over time.

  • Practice choosing willingness and approach over avoidance, even when things feel uncertain, building emotional flexibility.

  • Develop coping mechanisms grounded in evidence-based principles, tailored to the group's needs.

  • Benefit from the guidance of a skilled therapist and the supportive environment created by connecting with others facing similar challenges.

  • Gain confidence in navigating difficult thoughts and social situations within a safe environment designed for growth.

This group isn't about eliminating anxiety entirely, but learning to outsmart its tricks and reduce its influence on your life, freeing you up to engage more fully with what matters.
