What is Group Therapy?

Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy where a small group of individuals meet regularly to discuss their challenges, learn from one another, and receive guidance and support from a trained therapist or counselor. Unlike individual therapy, group therapy allows participants to gain insight from a shared experience and develop a sense of community, reducing feelings of isolation. It fosters an environment of empathy and collaboration, where individuals can address personal issues while also supporting others with similar concerns.

Benefits of Group Therapy

Connection & Support

Being in a group with others facing similar issues creates a sense of belonging and reduces feelings of isolation.

Diverse Perspectives

Hearing others' experiences can provide new insights and coping strategies.

Empathy & Compassion

The group dynamic encourages understanding, empathy, and the development of meaningful relationships.

Cost-Effective

Group therapy is often more affordable than individual therapy, making it accessible to a broader audience.

Accountability

Being part of a group provides a level of accountability that can help motivate personal growth.
