Specialty Group Therapy
Most therapy happens one-on-one. Specialty groups add something individual work cannot replicate: honest feedback, shared language, and the relief of being understood without explanation. Parallels groups are private, curated cohorts designed for focused work.
Body Image & Disordered Eating
Private Practice Coaching
Personal Training
These are not open-enrollment groups. Each cohort is built for a specific population, such as men in recovery, individuals repairing their relationship with food, or clinicians building practices. When the room is aligned, progress speeds up. You get accountability, perspective, and a place to practice new skills with people who live in similar terrain.
Curated Cohorts. Real Growth.
Connection Through Honest Work
Hear your experience reflected back with accuracy, and put words to what you have been carrying alone.
Structured Clinical Format
A defined arc with clear goals, skills practice, and expert facilitation.
Closed Cohorts
Small, private groups with limited enrollment to protect trust, continuity, and depth.
Accountability & Support
Peer accountability and mutual support, guided by strong boundaries and clear expectations.
Growth Happens Faster In A Collective
What “Curated” Means at Parallels
A group is only as strong as its fit. Each participant begins with an individual consultation so the cohort stays aligned and the space stays protected. The goal is a room where every voice has oxygen and the work stays focused.
Why A Closed-Cohort Model Supports Depth
Deep work does not happen in a revolving-door room. Closed cohorts create consistency, and consistency builds trust. Over time, the conversation moves past updates and into the patterns that drive stuck points at home, at work, and in recovery.
How Groups Connect With Individual Care
Many participants also do individual therapy. Group work becomes the practice field for communication, boundaries, conflict repair, and accountability. With your consent, facilitators can coordinate with your therapist so your work stays aligned across settings.

Yes. Individual work supports private processing. Group work supports real-world practice, accountability, and connection. Many clients find the combination strengthens follow-through.
Groups are intentionally small. Size depends on the cohort and the clinical goals. The standard stays the same: enough people for real perspective, few enough for depth and accountability.
Sessions include guided discussion, skills practice, shared reflection, and follow-through from the prior week. The format stays active. People practice change, not just talk about it.
