What Is Group Therapy?
Sometimes, healing happens best when you're not alone. Group therapy at Hollie Therapy and Counseling brings people with shared challenges together to work through their struggles in a supportive setting. In these sessions, our licensed therapist leads discussions that help members connect, share experiences, and learn from one another. We offer various types of group therapy in partnership with another mental health organization, tailored to meet specific needs, including:
- It's okay to not be okay: This group focuses on emotional well-being and creates a safe space to express feelings, process struggles, and gain tools for mental health resilience. It's perfect for anyone who feels overwhelmed or alone in their emotions.
- Me too, brother: Designed for men seeking connection and growth, these discussions cover topics, like managing stress, balancing life responsibilities, and building strong emotional awareness.
- Don't get bitter, get better: These sessions support individuals working through past hurts or disappointments. Participants focus on healing, moving forward, and developing a stronger sense of self-worth.
Through group therapy activities, our team can offer meaningful guidance for personal growth or support from others who understand your situation. Contact one of our practices in South Loop or Hyde Park, Chicago, IL today to schedule your consultation to explore the power of connection.

Hollie Therapy and Counseling Reviews
Great staff, great doctor, extremely patient and gives you the tools to be honest with yourself and build a true loving relationship or leave it alone. He doesn't play favorites or sides. One of the best counseling for a couple that we've ever experienced.
The consistent care and professionalism received from Dr. Brandon and his team has been top tier since we began nearly a year ago. He is patient, detailed and doesn’t miss anything. He is passionate about his work and it shows. Nays is also always attentive, responsive and is intentional in making sure clients feel supported. I have referred several friends and family and will continue doing so.
I want to express my sincere appreciation for the care and support I’ve received through Dr. Hollie’s therapy. His guidance has made a meaningful difference in my life, and I’m truly grateful for the time, patience, and understanding he has shown throughout my treatment.

My experience with Dr. Hollie was exceptional! Through our work together, I’ve learned how to communicate more effectively and resolve conflict. One of the biggest changes I’ve noticed in myself is how much better I’ve become at truly listening and understanding the emotions behind words!Dr. Hollie created a safe, supportive space. He gave me the tools to build stronger, healthier relationships, set healthy boundaries & show up more fully! If you are looking for a therapist who is exceptionally competent, compassionate & insightful, I would highly recommend Hollie Therapy!
