About Dagaz Therapy’s Individual Support Groups

Dagaz Therapy, under the direction of Business Owner: Britta Svihel, offers specialized Individual Support Groups in Maple Grove, MN, created to foster peer connection, mutual understanding, and practical skill-building in a safe, confidential environment. Located at WEAVER LAKE OFFICE PARK, 10900 89th Ave N, Suite 2, Maple Grove, MN 55369, our support groups serve adults and adolescents throughout Maple Grove, Plymouth, Brooklyn Park, Rogers, Minnetonka, Osseo, Champlin, Crystal, New Hope, Brooklyn Center, and surrounding Hennepin County communities.

The core purpose of these groups is to bring together individuals facing similar life challenges—such as anxiety, depression, substance use recovery, or life transitions—and offer a structured, therapist-facilitated environment where each member can:

  • Share Personal Experiences in a judgment-free setting
  • Learn Coping Strategies from both peers and clinicians
  • Build a Support Network that extends beyond weekly sessions
  • Practice Practical Skills (mindfulness, stress management, communication) in real time

Whether you’re looking to complement your individual therapy or searching for a confidential space to connect with others who truly “get it,” Dagaz Therapy’s Individual Support Groups can be a transformative addition to your mental health and well-being journey.

Why Choose Dagaz Therapy’s Individual Support Groups?

  1. Focus on Confidentiality & Privacy
    • Each support group is strictly limited to 8–10 participants, ensuring that everyone has an opportunity to speak and be heard.
    • Ground rules emphasize confidentiality—no sharing of personal details outside the group—so members can speak openly about their experiences without fear of exposure.
  2. Therapist-Facilitated, Peer-Centered Approach
    • Led by licensed therapists (including Britta Svihel), our facilitators guide discussions, introduce evidence-based coping techniques, and ensure respectful group dynamics.
    • Facilitators strike a balance between structured activities (e.g., guided exercises, skill-building worksheets) and open, peer-led sharing.
    • This hybrid model ensures both professional guidance and authentic peer empathy, creating a more enriching experience than purely peer-run groups.
  3. Convenient Location in Maple Grove
    • Held at 10900 89th Ave N, Suite 2 in WEAVER LAKE OFFICE PARK, our facility is centrally located, with ample free parking and wheelchair-accessible entrances.
    • Easily accessible from Highway 169, County Road 30, and adjacent neighborhoods—ideal for participants commuting from Plymouth, Rogers, Brooklyn Park, and Minnetonka.
  4. Tailored Groups for Diverse Needs
    • We offer distinct support group tracks, each designed to address a specific theme or life challenge:
      • Anxiety Management Support Group
      • Depression & Mood Regulation Support Group
      • Substance Use Recovery Support Group
      • Life Transitions & Stress Resilience Support Group
    • Each track meets weekly for 1–1.5 hours and runs in 8–12 week cycles, which allows new members to join at the start of each cycle.
    • Curriculum for every track is informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and other evidence-based practices.
  5. Flexible Participation: In-Person & Telehealth
    • In-Person Groups meet in a comfortable, private conference room at our Maple Grove office.
    • Telehealth Groups use a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform (accessible on smartphone, tablet, or computer), allowing participants from New Hope, Brooklyn Center, Osseo, Champlin, and Crystal to join from home.
    • Both formats maintain the same confidentiality guidelines, facilitator support, and interactive features (e.g., breakout rooms, guided exercises).

What Are Individual Support Groups?

Individual Support Groups at Dagaz Therapy are structured, therapist-facilitated gatherings that bring together people facing similar challenges. Although similar to group therapy, these support groups place a stronger emphasis on peer connection, shared experiences, and mutual encouragement rather than intensive clinical processing. Key characteristics include:

  1. Peer Connection & Shared Experience
    • Participants join because they are coping with comparable life stressors—such as chronic anxiety, depressive symptoms, early recovery from substance use, or major life changes (divorce, relocation, career transitions).
    • By hearing others’ stories, participants realize they are not isolated in their struggles, reducing shame and increasing motivation to change.
  2. Psychoeducational Components
    • Each session features a brief “psychoeducation mini-module” (10–15 minutes) where the facilitator introduces a coping strategy, mindfulness exercise, or communication tool.
    • Topics might include “Identifying Negative Thought Patterns,” “Practical Relaxation Techniques,” or “Healthy Boundaries for Lasting Change.”
  3. Facilitated Group Discussion & Sharing
    • After the psychoeducational segment, the remainder of the session (45–60 minutes) is reserved for participants to share recent challenges, successes, or insights related to the weekly theme.
    • Facilitators ensure everyone has a chance to speak and may guide the conversation to explore unhelpful beliefs, encourage skill application, and foster empathy among members.
  4. Skill-Building Activities
    • Participants engage in interactive exercises—such as guided imagery, deep-breathing practices, or role-playing communication scenarios—to practice coping skills in real time.
    • Worksheets and “homework assignments” (e.g., “Daily Thought Record,” “Gratitude Journal Entries,” “Mindful Moment Practice”) are provided to reinforce learning between sessions.
  5. Ongoing Cycle & New Member Integration
    • Each support group track runs on an 8–12 week cycle. At the beginning of a new cycle, facilitators convene a “Group Orientation” (30 minutes) to introduce new members to group guidelines, confidentiality, session format, and expectations.
    • This orientation ensures that everyone, both new and returning members, understands the structure and feels comfortable sharing.

Our Support Group Tracks

1. Anxiety Management Support Group

  • Who Should Join
    • Adults and adolescents (ages 16+) experiencing chronic or situational anxiety—panic attacks, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, or performance-related stress.
    • Individuals whose anxiety interferes with work, school, social relationships, or daily functioning, and who want peer support to augment individual therapy.
  • Key Goals & Benefits
    1. Normalize Anxiety Experiences: Recognize that anxiety is common and that others share similar fears (e.g., public speaking anxiety, social avoidance).
    2. Learn Evidence-Based Coping Skills: Practice techniques like diaphragmatic breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, grounding exercises, and guided imagery.
    3. Challenge Unhelpful Thoughts: Through group discussion and CBT-based worksheets, learn to identify and reframe cognitive distortions (e.g., catastrophizing, “all-or-nothing” thinking).
    4. Exposure & Empowerment: For social anxiety or performance fears, structured group exercises may involve “graded exposure”—such as giving a brief, supportive presentation to the group—within a safe environment.
    5. Build Community Support: Share successes, setbacks, and strategies, fostering a sense of belonging that reduces isolation.
  • Session Structure (1.5 Hours)
    1. Welcome & Check-In (10 Minutes): Each member rates their anxiety level (1–10) and shares a brief update on any wins or challenges from the past week.
    2. Psychoeducation Module (15 Minutes): Introduce an anxiety-related concept (e.g., “The Fight-or-Flight Response,” “Mindfulness for Anxiety,” “Cognitive Restructuring”).
    3. Skill Practice Exercise (20 Minutes): Guided breathing technique, body scan, or role-play challenging a negative thought, led by the facilitator.
    4. Group Discussion & Sharing (35 Minutes): Participants describe their experiences trying new coping strategies, receive feedback from peers, and brainstorm solutions.

2. Depression & Mood Regulation Support Group

  • Who Should Join
    • Individuals (ages 16+) experiencing persistent depressive symptoms—low energy, loss of interest, difficulty concentrating, or feelings of hopelessness—that impact quality of life.
    • Adults and adolescents seeking peer validation, emotional support, and practical strategies to manage negative mood states and prevent relapse.
  • Key Goals & Benefits
    1. Reduce Isolation & Shame: Shared experiences with depression help members recognize they are not alone, reducing stigma and shame.
    2. Learn Behavioral Activation Strategies: Identify pleasurable or meaningful activities and develop action plans to increase engagement (e.g., scheduling short walks, creative hobbies, volunteering).
    3. Enhance Emotional Regulation: Practice techniques—such as mindfulness grounding, emotion labeling, and self-soothing exercises—to navigate persistent low moods.
    4. Cognitive Restructuring: Use CBT-based worksheets to challenge depressive thought patterns (e.g., “I’m worthless,” “Nothing will ever get better”) and replace them with balanced, realistic perspectives.
    5. Build Resilience & Relapse Prevention: Share coping strategies used during past depressive episodes and develop personalized “mood management plans” to identify triggers and early warning signs.
  • Session Structure (1.5 Hours)
    1. Welcome & Mood Check (10 Minutes): Each member uses a “Mood Thermometer” (0–10) to rate their current state and shares a brief highlight or challenge.
    2. Psychoeducation Module (15 Minutes): Topics include “Behavioral Activation,” “Depression & Sleep Hygiene,” “Challenging Negative Core Beliefs,” or “Self-Compassion Practices.”
    3. Skill Building Exercise (20 Minutes): Guided activity—such as creating a “Pleasure/Accomplishment List” or practicing a mindfulness grounding technique.
    4. Group Sharing & Feedback (35 Minutes): Members discuss attempts to implement at-home strategies, share coping successes or setbacks, and offer each other practical suggestions.
    5. Wrap-Up & Homework (10 Minutes): Set a “mood management task” (e.g., “Engage in one pleasurable activity for 10 minutes each day,” “Complete a Thought Record for three days”), and confirm next meeting date.

3. Substance Use Recovery Support Group

  • Who Should Join
    • Adults and adolescents (ages 16+) in early recovery from substance use—alcohol, prescription medications, or illicit drugs—seeking peer encouragement to maintain sobriety.
    • Individuals who have completed or are concurrently participating in Chemical Health Counseling or Individual Therapy at Dagaz Therapy and want supplemental peer-based accountability.
  • Key Goals & Benefits
    1. Peer Accountability & Sponsorship: Members share weekly sobriety milestones, setbacks, and triggers in a supportive setting, enhancing motivation to remain substance-free.
    2. Learn Relapse Prevention Skills: Facilitated discussions on recognizing high-risk situations, developing coping strategies, and creating personalized relapse prevention plans.
    3. Explore Underlying Issues: While maintaining confidentiality, participants discuss emotions or life stressors that may underlie substance use—such as unresolved trauma, grief, or peer pressure.
    4. Integrate 12-Step or Alternative Philosophies: Although not exclusively a 12-step group, facilitators can provide psychoeducation on 12-step principles (e.g., “Letting go of control,” “Making amends”) or cognitive-behavioral relapse prevention models, based on member preference.
    5. Build a Recovery-Oriented Community: By connecting with peers who have navigated similar recovery paths, members build a sense of belonging that is critical during early sobriety.
  • Session Structure (1.5 Hours)
    1. Welcome & Check-In (10 Minutes): Members briefly share days or weeks of sobriety, acknowledge any recent challenges, and celebrate small wins.
    2. Psychoeducation Module (15 Minutes): Topics include “Identifying Triggers,” “Urge Surfing Techniques,” “Building Sober Supports,” or “Mindfulness in Relapse Prevention.”
    3. Skill-Building Exercise (20 Minutes): Guided activity—mapping out a “Relapse Prevention Roadmap,” practicing “urge surfing” breathing, or role-playing refusal skills.
    4. Group Sharing & Feedback (35 Minutes): Members discuss situations where they felt cravings, how they coped (or relapsed), and receive peer feedback on alternative strategies.
    5. Wrap-Up & Sobriety Task (10 Minutes): Assign a task—such as attending a local AA/NA meeting in Maple Grove or Brooklyn Park, practicing daily journaling of triggers and coping responses, or identifying a new supportive hobby.

4. Life Transitions & Stress Resilience Support Group

  • Who Should Join
    • Adults and adolescents (ages 16+) navigating significant life changes—divorce, job loss, relocation, retirement, college transition—who seek peer perspective and practical coping tools.
    • Individuals facing chronic stressors—caregiver burnout, parenting challenges, or grief—who want to develop resilience and stress management skills.
  • Key Goals & Benefits
    1. Normalize Stress Responses: Group members learn that experiencing anxiety, sadness, or uncertainty during major transitions is common and not a personal failure.
    2. Develop Stress-Reduction Techniques: Practice mindfulness exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and guided imagery to manage acute or chronic stress.
    3. Enhance Problem-Solving Skills: Use structured worksheets to identify stressors, brainstorm multiple solutions, evaluate pros/cons, and implement chosen strategies.
    4. Foster Peer Encouragement & Resource Sharing: Share local resources—support groups, community centers, vocational training programs in Maple Grove, Plymouth, and Rogers—that have aided others in similar transitions.
    5. Build Long-Term Resilience: Create personalized “Stress Resilience Plans” that include self-care routines, social support mapping, and crisis management protocols.
  • Session Structure (1.5 Hours)
    1. Welcome & Stress Check (10 Minutes): Each member rates their stress level on a “Stress Thermometer” (1–10) and shares a brief update on recent life transitions.

    • Caregivers (e.g., those caring for elderly parents) dealing with caregiver burnout who want to learn resilience and stress-management strategies.
  5. Seek Confidential, Therapist-Facilitated Peer Support
    • Anyone who is hesitant about large, open-ended support groups and prefers a smaller, professionally guided environment (8–10 participants).
    • People who value both clinical expertise and genuine peer connection—where a licensed therapist can introduce structured coping skills while peers share lived experience.
  6. Prefer Flexibility & Accessibility
    • Clients in Maple Grove who want in-person connection but can’t attend every week due to busy schedules—our rolling cycle format allows new members to join every 8–12 weeks.

How to Join an Individual Support Group

  1. Call for a Free Consultation
    • Dial (763) 200-1071 to speak with our intake coordinator. We’ll discuss which Support Group track aligns with your current needs—Anxiety, Depression, Substance Use Recovery, or Life Transitions & Stress Resilience.
    • Review scheduling preferences, in-person versus telehealth format, and insurance coverage.
  2. Complete a Brief Intake Screening
    • You’ll complete a 20–30 minute screening (in-person or via secure video) to ensure the chosen Support Group aligns with your needs and to gather basic background (mental health history, current concerns, and prior group experiences).
    • This screening helps us determine if you’re ready for a peer-based group or if individual therapy—or a different level of care—is more appropriate.
    • If you require more intensive clinical support (e.g., you’re experiencing active suicidal ideation or severe substance cravings), we’ll coordinate with you to begin individual therapy or Chemical Health Counseling first.
  3. Attend a Group Orientation (First Session of Each Cycle)
    • At the start of each 8–12 week cycle, new members join an “Group Orientation” (30 minutes) where the facilitator explains:
      • Group guidelines (confidentiality, respectful communication, attendance expectations).
      • Session structure (psychoeducation, skill-building, peer sharing).
      • Homework expectations and optional “buddy system” for accountability.
    • Returning members attend for the full session duration (1.5 hours), while new members attend the orientation and then integrate into the ongoing 1.5-hour sessions.
  4. Participate in Weekly Sessions
    • Commit to attending weekly for the duration of the 8–12 week cycle—consistent attendance is crucial for trust-building and skill reinforcement.
    • Engage in psychoeducational modules, peer sharing, and skill-building exercises.
    • Complete brief homework assignments (e.g., journaling prompts, mindfulness practice) to reinforce in-session learning.
  5. Review Progress & Decide on Next Steps
    • After the cycle ends, participants can choose to:
      • Re-enroll for another cycle to delve deeper or reinforce skills.
      • Transition to a different Support Group track that aligns with evolving needs.
      • Discontinue group participation if goals have been met and join our “Alumni Check-In Group” (monthly, optional) to maintain peer connection.
    • Facilitators provide a brief “Progress Summary” at the final session—highlighting skills learned, growth milestones, and recommendations for ongoing self-care.

Who Can Benefit from Individual Support Groups?

Dagaz Therapy’s Individual Support Groups are designed to meet the needs of diverse residents in Maple Grove, Plymouth, Brooklyn Park, Rogers, Minnetonka, Osseo, Champlin, Crystal, New Hope, Brooklyn Center, and Maple Plain who:

  1. Are Experiencing Isolated Anxiety or Panic
    • Those who feel trapped by chronic worry, social fears, or panic attacks, and want peer insights to normalize their experiences.
    • Individuals who may be hesitant to attend large-scale 12-step or open anxiety support groups (e.g., overwhelmingly large meeting sizes) but still crave peer connection.
  2. Struggle with Depressive Symptoms & Self-Criticism
    • People whose depressive moods create a sense of aloneness and self-blame—hearing others’ stories helps counteract negative self-talk.
    • Those looking for ongoing peer validation, practical mood-regulation strategies, and safe spaces to share setbacks without judgment.
  3. Are in Early Substance Use Recovery
    • Individuals who have recently left inpatient or outpatient treatment and want an evidence-based peer support alternative to traditional 12-step fellowships.
    • Adolescents (16+) working through the “high-risk relapse” period (first 90 days) and needing structured accountability.

    • Adults and students undergoing divorce, job loss, relocation to the Twin Cities, or starting college who require ongoing peer encouragement and strategic stress-management tools.
    • Caregivers of aging parents or chronically ill children who face burnout and need regular emotional support and self-care strategies.
  5. Prefer a Small, Therapist-Led Group Environment
    • Individuals who value a confidential, small-group setting (8–10 participants) over larger community-based support groups (e.g., Alcoholics Anonymous, Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance chapters).
    • Those looking for professional oversight—facilitators who can intervene if a conversation becomes unhelpful or if someone requires a higher level of care.
  6. Require Flexible, Accessible Options
    • Clients living outside Maple Grove proper—such as in Brooklyn Center, New Hope, Crystal, or Osseo—for whom telehealth is the most viable way to connect.
    • Busy professionals in Minnetonka, Plymouth, or Brooklyn Park needing evening or lunchtime sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What distinguishes an Individual Support Group from traditional group therapy?
A: While both involve multiple participants, Individual Support Groups at Dagaz Therapy emphasize peer connection, confidential sharing, and practical skill-building in a structured format. Facilitators introduce psychoeducational modules (CBT, mindfulness) but the focus remains on mutual support rather than intensive clinical processing. Traditional group therapy often involves deeper clinical interventions and is typically integrated into an individual’s broader treatment plan (e.g., weekly group therapy as part of outpatient program).

Q: How do I know which Support Group track is right for me?
A: During your free phone consultation, we’ll review your primary concerns—whether anxiety, depression, early recovery, or life transitions. Our intake coordinator will recommend the track whose curriculum best aligns with your current challenges. If your needs evolve (e.g., anxiety improved, new depression symptoms emerged), you can transition to a different track at the next cycle.

Q: Can I join mid-cycle if I miss the orientation session?
A: For confidentiality and to maintain group cohesion, new members must attend the orientation at the start of each cycle to learn guidelines and build trust. If you miss orientation, you may register for the next cycle’s orientation. Returning members who have completed an orientation can rejoin at any point in the cycle, space permitting.

Q: What should I expect during the Intake Screening?
A: The Intake Screening is a 20–30 minute appointment (in-person or telehealth) where you’ll:

  1. Describe your current concerns and any past group experiences.
  2. Complete a brief mental health/substance use questionnaire (e.g., PHQ-9, GAD-7).
  3. Discuss your availability and preference for in-person versus telehealth.
  4. Determination of appropriateness: If you’re in crisis (e.g., active suicidal ideation, severe substance cravings), we may refer you to individual therapy or a higher level of care before joining a support group.

Q: How many participants are in each group?
A: Each support group is limited to 8–10 members. This size fosters a safe, intimate environment where everyone has a chance to speak, share, and offer feedback without feeling overwhelmed.

Q: Do I need to commit to the entire 8–12 week cycle?
A: Yes. Consistent attendance is vital to build trust, maintain confidentiality, and practice skills together. If you know you cannot commit weekly, consider registering for a future cycle when your schedule is more predictable.

Q: How do facilitators ensure confidentiality?
A: All participants must sign a Group Confidentiality Agreement at orientation. This legally binding document prohibits sharing any personal details discussed in group outside the sessions. Facilitators reinforce ground rules at the start of each meeting. Anyone who violates confidentiality may be asked to leave.

Q: Are there evening or weekend options?
A: Yes. Dagaz Therapy offers limited evening support group sessions (after 5 PM) and occasional Saturday morning sessions to accommodate work, school, or caregiving responsibilities. Availability varies by track—call (763) 200-1071 for current schedules.
