'Except' versus "except for"

I believe we use 'except' while single out one from a group, use "except for" while the one picked out is not in the same group. Could someone please give me some examples in both cases? Thanks.

healer use "except for" See over 12,000 examples here. q=%22except+for%22&l=0 Except and " except fo r" can be interchanged except for cases where "for" is added to indicate a reason or a situation, not just the noun, which is the exception. Use except for in front of a noun phrase when you are mentioning something that prevents a statement from being completely true.
