Group Therapy & Events
At Ventura Therapy Collective, we believe that accessing mental health care should be clear, supportive, and as stress-free as possible. We understand how important—and sometimes necessary—it is to use your insurance benefits when seeking therapy.
That’s why we offer insurance verification and a clear breakdown of your benefits before any service begins. You’ll know exactly what your copay, coinsurance, and deductible responsibilities are before your first individual session, group, or class. Transparency matters to us—because your care should never come with surprises.
Our somatic healing groups, including Breathwork and Sound Bath classes, are offered at a low cash-pay rate to keep them accessible to our broader community. If cost is a barrier, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we have scholarship options available and we’re happy to talk with you.
As we often say:
“Healing is done in the presence of an empathic witness.”
Whether through talk therapy, group connection, or somatic practice, we’re here to hold that space for you—with care, presence, and respect.

All are welcome—no diagnosis required. Curiosity, compassion, and community are the only prerequisites.

Sound Bath for Therapists & Healers
Why Sound Bath Healing Matters for Therapists
As therapists, we hold so much. We listen deeply, care fiercely, and often carry the emotional weight of others while tending to our own lives and responsibilities. Sound bath healing offers a rare and sacred space where we don’t have to do—we can simply be.
Immersing ourselves in sound allows the nervous system to soften, stress to release, and the mind to rest. It’s a gentle reset, a way to refill our inner well so we can continue to offer care from a place of fullness rather than depletion. In the stillness of sound, we remember that we, too, deserve healing, peace, and restoration.
This isn’t just self-care—it’s soul care.

Somatic Breathwork for Community Members
What is Somatic Release Breathwork?
Somatic Release Breathwork is a powerful healing practice that uses conscious, connected breathing to help release stored stress, trauma, and emotional tension from the body. "Somatic" means relating to the body—and this modality recognizes that our bodies often hold onto experiences that our minds may not be fully aware of. Through intentional breath, we gently invite the nervous system to soften and the body to process what’s been stuck, unspoken, or suppressed.
Sessions often involve guided breathing patterns, supportive music, and a safe container where you’re encouraged to notice what arises—emotionally, physically, or spiritually—without judgment. This might include sensations, emotions, memories, or even subtle movements that emerge as part of the release process.
Benefits for Mental Health
Nervous System Regulation
Breathwork activates the parasympathetic nervous system (our rest-and-digest state), helping reduce anxiety, calm overwhelm, and bring the body out of chronic fight-or-flight.Trauma Healing
Many people find breathwork to be a gentle yet profound way to access and release stored trauma without needing to talk about it directly. It offers a pathway to healing that’s felt rather than explained.Emotional Clarity and Resilience
As emotions surface and are released, people often report feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to themselves. It can reduce emotional reactivity and increase the ability to respond with calm presence.Body Awareness and Mindfulness
Breathwork deepens your relationship with your body. You become more attuned to your inner cues—what feels safe, what feels off—and more empowered to make choices that support your well-being.Sense of Wholeness and Connection
Breathwork creates space to reconnect with your own wisdom, intuition, and inner peace. It can feel like a return to self—a reminder that healing is possible from the inside out.

Sound Bath for Community
What is a Sound Bath?
A sound bath is a deeply restorative experience where you are “bathed” in the healing vibrations of instruments like crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other resonant sounds. You simply lie down, relax, and allow the soothing tones to wash over your body and mind.
This isn’t just about listening—it’s about feeling. The vibrations move through the nervous system, helping quiet the mental chatter, release tension, and gently guide the body into a state of calm and balance.
Mental Health Benefits of Sound Bath Healing
Deep Relaxation & Stress Relief
Sound baths help the body shift from a stressed state (fight-or-flight) to a relaxed one (rest-and-digest), easing anxiety and calming the nervous system.Improved Sleep & Restorative Rest
Many participants report improved sleep and deeper rest after sessions, as the sound frequencies help reset the body’s natural rhythms.Emotional Release & Clarity
The resonance of sound can help unlock and release stored emotions, often without needing to put them into words. You might cry, sigh, feel a wave of peace—or just drift into a tranquil state of being.Mindfulness & Presence
The tones help anchor attention gently to the present moment, creating a meditative experience even for those who struggle with traditional meditation.Connection to Self & Inner Stillness
In the stillness created by sound, many people experience a sense of inner spaciousness and connection—an invitation to return to themselves with greater compassion and ease.
Sound bath healing is a beautiful complement to talk therapy, breathwork, or simply as a practice of self-care. It reminds us that sometimes, healing doesn’t have to be effortful—it can be received.

Explore OCD
Exploring OCD: A Support & Education Group
This weekly group offers a supportive space for individuals living with OCD—or those who have a loved one who might be struggling. Together, we’ll explore the many faces of OCD, including intrusive thoughts, compulsions, rumination, and avoidance behaviors.
We’ll discuss evidence-based treatment options like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), CBT, and mindfulness-based tools. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, seeking clarity, or supporting someone you care about, this group is a place to learn, share, and grow in community.
All are welcome—no diagnosis required. Curiosity, compassion, and community are the only prerequisites.
