Group Holding Hands

Group Therapy for Adults in Berkeley Lake, GA

 Because some healing can only happen in the presence of others.

"You will feel seen. You will feel heard. You will feel supported."

You've been doing the work. Maybe you're in individual therapy. Maybe you've learned about your patterns, your triggers, your history. And still — something feels incomplete. A gap remains between understanding yourself in a room with a therapist and actually showing up differently with the people in your life.
That gap has a name: it's relational. And it calls for a relational solution.

Why group therapy works differently

Many of our deepest wounds didn't happen in isolation; they happened in relationship. Patterns around trust, vulnerability, setting limits, speaking up, and belonging were shaped by early relational experiences. And the most powerful place to reshape them isn't always one-on-one with a therapist. It's in the company of others.
Group therapy offers something individual work simply can't replicate: a real, live social environment where you can practice new ways of being, receive honest and compassionate feedback, and experience genuine human connection — all within a carefully held, professionally guided space.
Dr. Buchholz describes it as a kind of social laboratory, a place where the experiments are safe, the stakes are real enough to matter, and the growth compounds in ways that reach far beyond the group room.

Who group therapy is designed for


Dr. Buchholz's groups are exclusively for adults, and are best suited for those who:
●    Are already engaged in individual therapy and feel ready to take their work into a group setting
●    Struggle with social anxiety, vulnerability, or showing up authentically in relationships
●    Are working through the relational impacts of past trauma or attachment wounds
●    Want to practice setting boundaries, assertiveness, and connection in a supported environment
●    Are ready to be witnessed, to witness others, and to experience what it means to be truly known

 

Group therapy

What to expect

Dr. Buchholz's therapy groups are small by design — which means every voice matters, every absence is felt, and real connection has the space to develop. Groups meet regularly and follow a process-oriented format, meaning the conversation emerges organically from what members bring, with Dr. Buchholz's skilled guidance shaping the experience.
New members are carefully selected and prepared before joining, ensuring that every person in the room has the foundation needed to engage fully and safely.
