Group Therapy in Chicago, Illinois

At Positive Regard Therapy (PRT), our groups are designed to be structured, affirming, and skills-focused. We know that walking into a room of strangers can feel intimidating, which is why every group has a clear purpose and a consistent format. Led by a licensed therapist who keeps things on track, our groups are carefully curated to ensure the space stays helpful, focused, and never chaotic—giving you a safe sanctuary to unmask, connect, and grow.

Emotionally Equipped

Does it feel like the world is moving faster than your ability to process it? We can’t change the national headlines, but we can change how we respond to them. This therapy group focuses on practical tools to help you feel grounded, even when the world feels out of control.

Arcane: Rewriting The Script

A structured geek-therapy group for adults who want to build practical skills for working through trauma. Episodes of Arcane are used as a springboard to explore trauma-related themes like shame, grief, survival mode, identity, and relationship patterns.

What to Expect in a PRT Group

While each group has its own focus, most groups include:

A Clear Structure

You will know what the group is for, how sessions run, and what the expectations are.

Guided Discussion Plus Skills

This is not “everyone vents for 90 minutes.” There is room for real talk, and we pair it with tools, prompts and practice.

Respect for Privacy and Boundaries

We set norms that support safety, consent, and confidentiality. Group members are expected to participate in a way that protects the space.

An Affirming Environment

PRT is LGBTQ+ affirming and sex-positive in our approach, and we aim to create groups where clients can show up without having to translate themselves.
