Frequently asked questions
How much do therapy groups in Mississippi cost?
17 of the 26 groups in Mississippi 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 Mississippi?
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 Mississippi 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 Mississippi.
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.
