Finding Your Path to Healing: Group and Individual Counseling at Ridgeline Recovery
Group vs. Individual Counseling At Ridgeline RecoveryColumbus OH, the path to healing, as with most things in life, looks different for everyone. That is why we offer different therapy formats, such as group counseling and individual counseling. The best course of action is as per your requirement and preference.
Here's a closer look at each option to help you decide which might be the best fit for you:
Group Counseling
The Acute Care Model is flawed. Our therapies address these gaps: comprehensive substance use disorder treatment and long-term aftercare for sobriety.
Your classmates/cohort can bond over these sessions and learn about different strengths and problems. Share what works and use resources to learn from others.
Take advantage of this chance to socialize and improve communication! Join a new group where you may freely express yourself and notice how varied people are, for better or worse.
Relapse Prevention, Trigger Identification, and Healthy Habits are examples of themed meetings having universal application.
Individual Counseling
Individual therapy with a skilled practitioner provides a safe, confidential area to address your needs or goals. With specialized coaching, you may heal your deepest emotional traumas and create a plan that fits your lifestyle.
They will stand by you and help guide the way through your recovery. One-on-one therapists can provide a controlled environment where you are able to confront your feelings, deal with painful circumstances and help equip you in order to handle them.
Individual therapy is completely confidential, so you can be open and honest about sensitive information and experiences without any fear of judgement.
Choosing the Right Path
At the end of the day, it is a personal choice whether to accept an invitation for group therapy and/or individual therapy.
Here are some factors to consider:
Comfort Level
Are you someone who likes to share in community, or do you prefer your experience of a more private one?
Support Network
Is your support system strong enough from the outside, or do you long for that extra level of connection being part of a group provides?
Specific Needs
Do you have certain things that are causing issues to work through or just in need of a way to look forward?

Ridgeline recovery is the real deal. If you are looking to be healed and whole this is the place to do it. They don’t use a traditional 12 Step program which is what I love about it the most. It’s more realistic and relatable. Their staff is friendly and provides me with groceries and so many community resources to help with every area of need in my life. As well several different staff members have followed up with me regularly to check my progress and see if there was anything I needed help with. The teachers and owners are personable, fun and make me laugh. The empowerment sessions leave me motivated with the tools to move to the next level..out of recovery and into success. I’m so thankful for this program and its staff. Also they take Medicaid. I never thought I would want to attend 3 sessions a week but once I took one class I wanted to be involved and was genuinely engaged in taking more classes. Thank you Ridgeline!

Let’s be honest—talking about what’s on your mind isn’t always easy. But finding the right space to open up? That makes all the difference.
Some folks feel more comfortable in a quiet room with just one trusted person. Others feel stronger when they’re surrounded by people who’ve been through similar stuff. Both group and individual counseling offer something real—and depending on the day, you might benefit from either.
Think of it like this:
One-on-one counseling = your personal space to dig deep
Group counseling = a team vibe that reminds you you’re not alone
There’s no perfect formula. Just options that help you feel supported, understood, and ready to move forward—at your own pace.
At Ridgeline Recovery, we know that healing doesn’t look the same for everyone—and it shouldn’t have to. That’s why we offer both group and individual counseling options here in Columbus. Whether you’re looking for a private space to untangle your thoughts or a supportive group where you can share and listen, we’re here to meet you where you are. 🌿
Some days, a one-on-one session feels like a deep breath. You get time with a trained therapist who helps you sort through what’s heavy and make sense of what’s next. Other times, being in a group can be a powerful reminder that you’re not in this alone. There’s something special about hearing someone else say the thing you thought only lived in your head—and realizing you’re understood. 💬
We don’t expect you to show up a certain way. We’re not here to fix you or fit you into a mold. At Ridgeline, we create space for real people to do real work—whether that’s processing grief, managing anxiety, building coping skills, or simply showing up on hard days.
Group or individual, your path is your own—and we’re just here to walk it with you. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Just showing up is a big deal, and we’ll take it from there. 💛
Taking the first step towards healing can feel daunting, but it’s also a huge sign of strength. At Ridgeline Recovery, we’re here to help you along that journey. No need for perfection—just an open heart and a willingness to show up. 🌱
Whether you choose individual counseling for some quiet reflection or group counseling to connect with others who understand, we offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to grow. Each session, each step, is progress. 📈
We’re not here to rush you or push you into anything you’re not ready for.
