Cost and insurance in Hawaii
18 of Hawaii's 21 groups are free to join. Beyond those, costs span a wide range, and the range is real. Peer-led groups are usually free. Sliding-scale and community-funded groups often charge $5 to $25. Insurance-covered groups commonly involve a copay in the $20 to $50 range. Private-pay rates vary the most: some groups charge under $50 a session, while specialized programs, intensive formats, and highly credentialed facilitators price well above $100. Every listing states its own cost, so you know before you reach out. Most major insurers reimburse virtual group therapy at parity with in-person care. Always confirm coverage with your plan.
In Hawaii, the state Medicaid program is Med-QUEST. Some listed groups accept it; each listing's cost line says what it takes.
Frequently asked questions
How much do therapy groups in Hawaii cost?
18 of the 21 groups in Hawaii are free to join. There is no single going rate. Peer-led groups are usually free, sliding-scale and community-funded groups often charge $5 to $25, and insurance-covered groups commonly involve a $20 to $50 copay. Private-pay pricing varies the most, from under $50 a session to well over $100 for specialized or intensive programs. Every listing on this directory states its own cost, and many groups offer a free intro session.
Do I need a referral to join a group in Hawaii?
Most groups in this directory accept self-referrals; you contact the facilitator directly. Some insurance-covered groups require a referral from your primary care provider or therapist. Listings note any requirements.
Are virtual therapy groups as effective as in-person?
593 virtual groups are open to Hawaii residents, and research consistently shows virtual group therapy produces outcomes comparable to in-person care for anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction recovery, and it expands access for people in rural Hawaii.
How do I know a listing is current?
Group leaders write their own listings. The directory checks each listing's details against the group's own website on a rolling basis, and listings show the date those details were last checked. That check confirms the group exists and its details match; it is not a clinical review or an endorsement.
If you need help now
A support group is not crisis care. If you or someone you know is struggling right now:
- Call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Free, confidential, 24/7.
- Many counties run local warmlines for non-emergency support. Search your county name plus "warmline."
The directory will still be here when you're ready.
