Therapeutic Groups.
Strength in Being Understood
Taking the first step into a group can feel intimidating, especially when you don’t know what to expect. Our therapeutic groups bring together people navigating similar ages, experiences, challenges, and stages of life. As part of KSBH’s broader approach to care, Therapeutic Processing Groups and Experiential Therapy Groups can also work alongside individual counseling, skill-building, and hands-on therapeutic activities at The Farm.Two Ways to Learn, Connect, and Grow
Therapeutic Processing Groups create space to talk through experiences, challenges, thoughts, and emotions alongside others who may be navigating something similar. With guidance from a mental health professional, participants can gain new perspectives, develop practical strategies, learn from one another, and explore how what they’re learning connects to their own lives. Experiential Therapy Groups create opportunities to take that learning a step further by putting therapeutic tools into practice. Through purposeful activities and experiences, participants can work on skills like communication, problem-solving, emotional regulation, confidence, and connection in real time, with support along the way. Some KSBH groups may focus primarily on one approach, while others can bring processing and experiential therapy together, depending on the needs and goals of the participants. Care at KSBH is never one-size-fits-all. If you are interested in joining one of our therapeutic groups, please give us a call at 618-624-5771, Ext. 101.
Adult Therapeutic Processing Group
There’s no single correct way to be an adult, and there’s certainly no instruction manual.
Work, relationships, parenting, finances, and more can become a lot to carry. Our Adult Therapeutic Processing Group gives participants a place to talk honestly with others about navigating their own challenges, consider different perspectives and solutions, and develop practical strategies and skills for everyday life.

Young Adult Group: Activating and Processing
For young adults navigating independence, education, relationships, and decisions about the future, this stage of life can bring possibility and uncertainty at the same time.
KSBH’s Young Adult Groups offer both Experiential Therapy and Therapeutic Processing, which allow participants to not only learn skills, but also practice and consider challenges and solutions in real time. In this group, young adults connect with peers who may be asking some of the same questions and experiencing the same roadblocks or struggles. Participants talk openly, develop practical coping and life skills, and gain opportunities to apply what they’re learning as they build greater confidence and independence.

Young Adult Experiential Therapy and Therapeutic Processing Group
Young adulthood is full of exciting possibilities, but it can also bring uncertainty, pressure, and anxiety, depression, and overwhelming expectations. From navigating college, careers, and financial independence to managing friendships, dating, relationships, family expectations, and the transition into adulthood, young adults face unique challenges as they begin defining who they are and what they want their lives to look like.
KSBH’s Young Adult Experiential Therapy and Therapeutic Processing Groups provide a supportive, judgment-free environment where young adults can connect with peers, share experiences, manage anxiety and stress, build healthy relationships, and develop practical tools for navigating everyday life. Rather than simply sitting in a group room, participants engage in meaningful activities and real-world experiences that allow them to practice communication, problem-solving, emotional regulation, decision-making, and healthy coping strategies in real time. It’s not just therapy; it’s building confidence, independence, resilience, and the skills to navigate adulthood successfully.

Adolescent Experiential and Therapeutic Processing Group
Growing up is complicated, and today’s adolescents are navigating school, friendships, family relationships, social pressures, and more.
KSBH’s Adolescent Experiential Therapy and Therapeutic Processing groups provide a supportive environment where teens can connect with peers, talk through challenges, develop healthy coping strategies, and strengthen skills for communication and everyday life. Rather than simply sitting in a group room, teens participate in activities that allow them to apply therapeutic tools in real time. When we work with our youth in environments that they encounter in real life, they learn tools to apply to real-life situations. It’s not just therapy – it’s actively building confidence.

Whether you’re managing relationship struggles, balancing work and family, adjusting to major life changes, or navigating the demands of fatherhood, this group provides an opportunity to learn, grow, and build meaningful connections.

Women’s Therapeutic Processing Group
Women wear many hats—mother, partner, professional, caregiver, friend—and somewhere in the middle of meeting everyone else’s needs, their own well-being can take a back seat. KSBH’s Women’s Therapeutic Processing Group offers a supportive, judgment-free space to navigate the complexities of womanhood through every season of life. From motherhood, marriage, and relationships to career pressures, chaotic schedules, family demands, perimenopause, menopause, and the emotional and physical changes that come with aging, no topic is off the table. Through honest conversations, shared experiences, and practical coping strategies, women can find connection, perspective, and tools to better manage stress, establish healthy boundaries, and rediscover balance. Because taking care of yourself matters, too.

Cancer Survivor & Family Group (Grace & Grit)
Cancer affects much more than just the body. Its emotional impact can continue through treatment, recovery, survivorship, and all of the uncertainty that lies in between. Grace and Grit is a Therapeutic Processing Group for those living with cancer, founded in memory of Janet Frasher, a former KSBH board member and longtime supporter who passed away from cancer. In Janet’s memory, Grace and Grit creates space for the parts of the cancer experience that don’t always fit into appointments or treatment plans. If you’d like to participate or discuss more about the group, contact KSBH.
