Group Therapy Specialist Serving Santa Monica, El Segundo CA

At Dr. Flanigan Landeros OCD & Psychological Services, we offer specialized group therapy sessions designed to help individuals manage symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, and related psychological challenges. Group therapy involves one or more experienced therapists working collaboratively with several participants who share similar emotional struggles, mental health conditions, or life experiences. The primary goal of our group therapy sessions is to help participants gain deeper insight, develop healthier coping skills, and enhance interpersonal effectiveness through structured and guided interactions.

In our supportive, confidential, and compassionate environment, participants are encouraged to openly discuss their personal experiences, emotions, and daily challenges related to OCD and anxiety. Our therapists, trained specifically in evidence-based treatments for OCD and anxiety, facilitate these discussions by providing professional guidance, psychoeducation, and practical strategies, while also encouraging meaningful interactions and mutual support among group members.

Our practice integrates proven therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and interpersonal therapy strategies. Each group is carefully tailored to address the unique needs and therapeutic goals of our participants, ensuring an individualized and effective experience.

Participating in group therapy helps individuals recognize they are not alone in their struggles, fostering feelings of connection, understanding, and support. Additionally, group sessions often empower participants to build self-awareness, develop improved social and communication skills, and learn new coping mechanisms by observing and practicing interpersonal interactions within the group setting.

Our group therapy programs offer effective interventions for a wide range of concerns, including OCD symptoms, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress management, and interpersonal relationship difficulties. At Dr. Flanigan Landeros OCD & Psychological Services, we are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care that fosters healing, growth, and long-term emotional wellness.

Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy in which our experienced therapists facilitate supportive sessions among participants who share common experiences, concerns, and mental health goals. By connecting with others facing similar struggles, participants find a nurturing and collaborative environment that fosters empathy, enhances growth, and promotes effective coping strategies.

Our group therapy sessions typically take place on a weekly or biweekly basis in a structured, confidential setting. Guided by one of our skilled therapists, group members engage in meaningful discussions, share personal experiences, and actively support one another. Through open dialogue and mutual encouragement, participants gain valuable insights from peers, learn new approaches to managing their symptoms, and develop greater self-awareness.

For individuals coping with OCD, anxiety, and related conditions, group therapy provides a powerful opportunity to realize they are not alone in their experiences. This significantly reduces feelings of isolation and stigma, helping participants feel supported and understood. Witnessing the challenges, successes, and coping strategies of fellow group members also inspires new ways to approach personal difficulties and fosters resilience.

In each session, our therapists play an essential role by facilitating interactions, ensuring a safe and respectful atmosphere, and introducing evidence-based therapeutic strategies tailored to OCD and anxiety. Techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and acceptance-based approaches are integrated to help participants effectively address symptoms and improve overall psychological well-being.

Over time, participants in our group therapy program experience meaningful growth in areas such as symptom management, emotional resilience, interpersonal skills, and self-understanding. Group therapy is particularly beneficial for those affected by obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, stress-related issues, depression, and other psychological challenges, empowering you to build healthier coping mechanisms, strengthen personal relationships, and achieve lasting emotional wellness.

Group therapy offers specialized support tailored specifically for individuals living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, and related psychological challenges. By creating a structured environment of mutual understanding and shared experiences, our therapeutic groups help participants recognize that they are not alone in their struggles, significantly alleviating feelings of isolation, loneliness, and stigma associated with OCD and anxiety.

Participation in group therapy provides valuable interpersonal insights, teaching our clients how to communicate their concerns more effectively and enhance their overall social skills. Within the supportive group environment cultivated by Dr. Katie Flanigan Landeros and our experienced mental health professionals, individuals benefit from diverse perspectives and constructive feedback from peers who genuinely understand the complexities involved in managing OCD and related psychological conditions.

Observing and learning from others who face similar challenges can introduce new coping strategies, practical tools, and evidence-based techniques that participants may not have considered previously. Our therapeutic groups also provide a safe, structured space to actively practice newly acquired skills, such as exposure and response prevention (ERP) techniques, mindfulness practices, or cognitive-behavioral approaches, thereby building confidence, resilience, and emotional strength.

The group setting cultivates motivation and accountability, empowering members to encourage and gently challenge one another toward achieving personal therapeutic goals. Participants often experience increased empathy and emotional intelligence as they relate to and understand the experiences of fellow group members, leading to enhanced interpersonal relationships both within and outside the therapy environment.

Overall, our group therapy services offer a cost-effective, evidence-based, and empowering approach to mental health treatment. By fostering emotional healing, personal growth, and meaningful connections, our therapy groups support lasting recovery and improved quality of life for individuals managing OCD, anxiety, and related psychological conditions.

Group therapy can benefit individuals facing a variety of emotional, psychological, and interpersonal challenges. At Dr. Flanigan Landeros OCD & Psychological Services, our specialized group therapy programs support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and OCD. Sharing experiences in a structured and compassionate setting can help clients feel less isolated, develop coping strategies, and gain validation.

Our group therapy also supports those coping with grief, loss, or significant life transitions, offering participants the opportunity to connect with others facing similar struggles. This shared experience fosters healing, resilience, and acceptance. Additionally, individuals navigating relationship difficulties, whether within family, friendships, or romantic partnerships, can benefit from exploring these challenges in a supportive group environment.

For those dealing with substance abuse or addiction alongside OCD or anxiety, group therapy provides essential peer support, motivation, and professional guidance for recovery and relapse prevention. Our sessions also cater to individuals managing chronic stress, trauma, or PTSD, offering a safe space to process emotions and learn techniques for symptom management.
