Group Therapy
Group therapy helps acquire skills, knowledge, and coping mechanisms while also connecting with peers who understand their journey.
Group therapy at Magnolia Creek
Magnolia Creek offers various therapy groups within our treatment programs, enabling clients to find mutual validation, support, and a sense of community as they navigate the recovery journey. Our therapy groups cover a range of treatment modalities and focus on key aspects of healing, including trauma, relationships, nutrition and cooking, life skills, and more.
What is group therapy?
In eating disorder treatment, group therapy offers clinician-led, evidence-based support in a shared setting. Clients connect through mutual understanding, build social bonds, and encourage one another — creating a sense of belonging during a time when many feel isolated, misunderstood, or alone in their recovery.
Group therapy plays a vital role in eating disorder treatment, drawing on the power of shared experience, peer connection, and a supportive community to aid healing.
How group therapy supports eating disorder recovery
Group therapy is a core pillar of eating disorder care, complementing individual and family therapy, nutrition counseling, and medical support to create a whole-person path to healing.
Benefits of group therapy:
Eases isolation, shame, and self-blame by showing that others share similar struggles and emotions.
Builds community through shared experience, mutual respect, and emotional connection.
Challenges disordered thoughts about food, body image, and self-worth by exposing individuals to new perspectives.
Promotes accountability through regular check-ins, progress sharing, and peer support.
Enhances communication and coping skills by practicing healthy self-expression and boundary-setting in a safe space.
Together, these group dynamics provide a sense of belonging and resilience — reminding each individual that healing is not only possible, but also strengthened through connection.
