Group Therapy — My Next Steps of Morganton

What is group therapy?

Group therapy brings patients together in a structured, supportive setting to work through shared challenges in recovery. Sessions are led by a clinician and focus on practical coping skills, mutual accountability, and the connection that comes from knowing you’re not doing this alone.

Referrals from other providers as a complement to individual therapy
