What is Group Therapy?
Group therapy is a valuable form of psychotherapy that can support individuals in achieving their personal goals, whether they are new to mental health care or focused on developing specific skills. A trained provider collaborates with a group of participants to explore personal challenges, acquire healthy behaviors, and practice implementing new skills in challenging situations.
Our group therapy program is open to individuals who may or may not be our patients. Regardless of your background, group therapy offers a supportive environment where you can connect with others, gain insights, and work towards personal growth.
What does a typical group therapy session look like?
Our group therapy sessions typically involve one or more psychotherapists working with a small group of participants, typically consisting of 6 to 12 people. These therapy groups often bring together individuals who share similar life experiences, such as substance use disorder, anxiety, or grief.
We go beyond simple listening and sharing. We offer various activities such as icebreakers to foster connection among participants, journaling exercises to reflect on past experiences and emotions, goal-setting and planning to encourage concrete progress, and role-play to practice implementing new skills in challenging situations.
