Group Therapy

for adults in San Diego, CA

You’re not the only one going through it — and you don’t have to heal alone.

Group therapy is one of the most powerful tools we offer. It gives you the chance to connect with others who get it — people who are showing up for themselves, just like you.

At Orion, our groups are led by trained clinicians who know how to hold space, guide honest conversations, and help you feel seen — without pressure or performative healing. Just real people doing real work, together.

Common Questions

The Process

Each group is different, but most include a mix of therapist guidance, open discussion, and supportive check-ins. Some groups are more structured (like skills groups), and others are more process-based (focused on emotional sharing and connection). You’re never forced to speak — you set your pace.

All of our groups are led by licensed therapists from the Orion collective. They’re experienced in trauma-informed care, group dynamics, and creating safe spaces for honest conversation and emotional growth.

Nope. You’re encouraged to show up how you are. Many people start by listening and gradually open up when they feel ready. There’s no pressure to perform or overshare. We honor your comfort zone.

In individual therapy, you explore your experiences one-on-one with your therapist. In group therapy, you learn and grow in community — by hearing others’ stories, practicing new skills, and realizing you’re not alone in what you’re going through. It offers a different kind of healing that many find deeply validating.

Not here. Our groups are facilitated with intention. While emotional expression is welcome, we focus on insight, support, and growth — not just staying in the pain. You’ll gain tools, perspective, and community, not just space to talk.

Insurance & Costs

Yes. During the onboarding process, you’ll input your insurance information into the client portal, and our billing team will verify your coverage.

We’ll let you know your out-of-pocket costs before your first session. If you’re paying out of pocket, insurance submission isn’t required.

We believe in transparency when it comes to therapy costs. The price of sessions varies based on your therapist’s credentials and whether you’re using insurance or paying out of pocket. Here’s a breakdown of our standard rates:

Out-of-Pocket Rates

Associate Therapists (APCC, AMFT, ACSW)

  • $100 per individual session

Most affordable option, working under licensed supervision

Licensed Therapists (LMFT, LPCC, LCSW)

  • $150 per individual session


Psychologists (PsyD, PhD)

  • $200 per individual session

Best for in-depth psychological work and complex mental health concerns

We accept insurance and will verify your coverage during the onboarding process. Once verified, we’ll provide you with a clear breakdown of your out-of-pocket costs based on your plan. If you’re paying out of pocket, no insurance submission is required

If cost is a concern, we encourage you to ask about our lower-cost associate therapists or potential sliding scale options based on financial need.

Why Does the Cost Vary?

The cost of therapy is based on the therapist’s level of experience and qualifications:

  • Associates (APCC, AMFT, ACSW) are fully trained and work under licensed supervision.
  • Licensed Therapists (LMFT, LPCC, LCSW) have years of experience and can practice independently.
  • Psychologists (PsyD, PhD) have the highest level of training, specializing in complex cases and assessments.

Regardless of the provider you choose, you’ll receive high-quality, professional care from a therapist committed to your growth and well-being.

If cost is a concern, let us know. We can explore out-of-network reimbursement, sliding-scale rates, or alternative resources to help make therapy more accessible.
