What’s the Difference—and Which Is Right for You?
If you’re looking for help with your relationship, your emotional health, or your direction in life, you’ll quickly run into a lot of terms: therapy, counseling, coaching, support groups. They sound similar—but they serve very different purposes. At Groups For Men, we combine peer support groups with coaching, creating something uniquely powerful for men who want real change—not just insight.
Therapy & Counseling
Coaching & Support Groups
- Focus on Anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD
- Childhood wounds and past experiences
- Mental health diagnoses
- Emotional processing and healing
- Clinical treatment plans
- Communication and relationship skills
- Emotional regulation
- Accountability and follow-through
- Leadership and personal growth
- Shared experience (you’re not alone)
Support Groups
A support group is a structured space where men come together to speak honestly, be witnessed, and learn from each other. At Groups For Men, our support groups are not casual venting sessions. Best for men who:
- Feel isolated or misunderstood
- Want perspective from other men
- Learn best through shared experience
- Want accountability beyond one-on-one help
There is something powerful about hearing: “I’ve been there too—and here’s what worked.”
Coaching
Coaching is about where you are now—and where you want to go. Rather than diagnosing or treating mental illness, coaching helps men build skills, change behaviors, and take responsibility for their choices. We focus on:
- Communication and relationship skills
- Emotional regulation
- Accountability and follow-through
- Decision-making and boundaries
- Leadership and personal growth
Experienced coaches (not clinicians)
Groups For Men is not therapy—and we’re clear about that.

Do I Still Need Therapy?
In short, probably. Some men in our groups also work with a therapist. Others don’t—and still experience meaningful growth. If you’re dealing with severe depression, trauma, or mental health crises, therapy may be the right first step.
- “I know what my issues are—but I don’t know how to change”
- “I need accountability, not just insight”
- “I want to show up better in my relationship”
- “I don’t want to do this alone anymore”
Groups For Men is likely a strong fit.
