Connection, Skills & Support

Virtual Therapy Groups

Build practical skills and meaningful connection in a space that respects your neurodivergent identity.

Contact us to confirm which groups are currently enrolling, schedules, fees, facilitator, state eligibility, and participation requirements before arranging an intake.

Our Approach to Group Therapy

Clinical support for ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD, with goals that matter to you.

Licensed Clinical Facilitation

Our virtual psychotherapy groups are led by licensed mental health therapists. Intake helps determine whether a particular group is appropriate for your needs and whether other or additional support would be helpful.

Structured, Affirming Care

Group topics draw on PEERS®, CBT, DBT skills, and ACT. We focus on practical tools for communication, executive functioning, and emotional regulation while respecting sensory needs, personal boundaries, and individual differences. The goal is support—not making you appear neurotypical.

Groups for Adolescents · Ages 14–18

Support for high school demands, peer relationships, and intense emotions. At age 18, group placement is discussed individually.

PEERS® for Adolescents

Practice making and keeping friends, entering and leaving conversations, navigating conflict, responding to teasing or bullying, and planning get-togethers. Caregiver coaching supports practice outside sessions. Confirm the cohort’s age criteria and caregiver session arrangements; the adolescent curriculum and adult curriculum have different eligibility requirements.

DBT Skills Adapted for Neurodivergence

Learn mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness with attention to sensory and cognitive needs. This is a skills group; it is not described as a comprehensive DBT treatment program.

CBT for Executive Functioning & Academic Anxiety

Explore task initiation, organization, time management, procrastination, and school-related anxiety. Practice manageable steps and work with self-critical thoughts and shame rather than treating executive challenges as a lack of effort.

Groups for Young Adults · Ages 18–24

Practical support for college, work, relationships, and independent living.

PEERS® for Young Adults

Build friendship and relationship skills through structured learning and practice. Explore communication, dating, and maintaining a supportive social network. The young-adult PEERS® model includes a social coach; discuss who could fill that role and what their participation involves. Ask about separate career-focused support.

Executive Functioning & CBT for Adult ADHD

Structured strategies informed by Mary Solanto’s CBT approach for adult ADHD: break tasks into steps, plan time, organize priorities, and work with thoughts that contribute to avoidance. The exact curriculum and adaptations are discussed before enrollment.

ACT for Neurodivergent Identity

Explore values, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, shame, and masking fatigue. Practice taking meaningful steps while making space for difficult feelings. Your identity and support needs are respected; unmasking is a personal choice, not a participation requirement.

Insurance & Billing

Coverage is specific to your plan, provider, service, and clinical needs. A billing code or clinical curriculum does not guarantee payment.

Clinical Intake & Treatment Planning

An individual clinical assessment is required before joining. We discuss fit, relevant diagnostic information, treatment goals, consent, and participation needs. CPT 90791 may apply to a diagnostic evaluation; the actual code depends on the service provided.

Group Psychotherapy: CPT 90853

Group psychotherapy is commonly billed using CPT 90853 when appropriate. Coverage can depend on medical necessity, telehealth rules, network status, authorization, and plan exclusions. Clinical documentation reflects each participant’s treatment and progress.

In-Network Benefits

If the group provider is in-network and the service is covered, claims may be submitted to your insurer. Your responsibility may include a deductible, copay, coinsurance, or noncovered charges. Confirm benefits and estimated costs before enrolling.

Out-of-Network & Self-Pay

Ask whether a superbill is available and whether your plan offers out-of-network group benefits. Reimbursement is not guaranteed. Educational classes, coaching, or peer support may follow different coverage rules. Ask about fees and payment options before beginning.

Group FAQs

What if my teen is reluctant to join?

Participation starts with an honest conversation about your teen’s interests and goals. Group can feel reassuring for some people and overwhelming for others. Intake explores fit and supports without promising that every teen will enjoy a group.

Why does PEERS® involve a caregiver or social coach?

The model includes coaching to help participants practice skills between sessions. Teen caregivers and young-adult social coaches have specific roles. Confirm the schedule and format for the actual cohort; caregiver involvement is not a blanket guarantee of insurance coverage.

How do you support screen fatigue and attention differences?

Discuss breaks, movement, fidget tools, visual supports, and other accommodations during intake. Activities and format vary by group. Virtual groups may use video even though individual therapy on this site focuses on audio-only sessions.

Can I join with anxiety or depression as well as ADHD or Autism?

These concerns can be part of group treatment. Suitability depends on your current needs, the group’s focus, and safety considerations. Intake may recommend individual care, another service, or additional support alongside the group.

What happens if I miss a session?

Regular attendance supports shared learning. Insurance cannot be billed as though you attended a session you missed. Any cancellation or missed-session fee, make-up options, and attendance expectations are explained before enrollment; do not assume a particular fee applies.

Will my parents have access if I am 18 or older?

Family involvement and routine sharing of records generally require your authorization, subject to applicable legal and safety exceptions. Insurance explanations of benefits or shared accounts can reveal service information to a policyholder. Ask us and your insurer about confidential communications if you are concerned.

How is psychotherapy different from a support group?

Psychotherapy includes clinical assessment, individualized goals, therapist facilitation, and treatment documentation. Peer groups and community spaces can also offer valuable connection. Clinical structure alone does not guarantee insurance eligibility or reimbursement.

Will I have to turn my camera on or speak?

Camera and participation expectations are specific to the group and reviewed before enrollment. Discuss anxiety, sensory needs, privacy, and possible accommodations. Camera use is not described here as a universal insurer requirement. You can ask about fit before committing and are not expected to share personal details beyond your comfort.

Can I keep seeing my individual therapist?

Group may complement individual therapy. We discuss whether the treatments fit together and whether coordination would help. Information is shared with another clinician with appropriate authorization or when otherwise permitted or required by law.

How is privacy protected in a virtual group?

Join from a private setting and follow the group’s confidentiality agreements, including no recordings or screenshots. Therapists explain confidentiality limits and safety procedures. We ask all members to protect one another’s privacy, but cannot guarantee that every participant will comply.

Find a Group That Fits

Contact Renewed Roots Counseling to ask about enrollment, insurance benefits, and an intake assessment. A brief inquiry is enough; keep detailed health information out of ordinary email.

Ask About Group Therapy

Telehealth eligibility depends on where you are physically located and the facilitator’s licensure. Confirm availability in Washington, Oregon, or California. Group inquiries are not monitored for emergencies.
