Group Counseling

Group therapy involves one or more therapist who lead a group of roughly five to fifteen clients. Typically, groups meet for an hour or two each week for an identified period of time approximately 6 weeks for some.  Some people attend individual therapy in addition to groups, while others participate in groups only. You will be offered the option based on your circumstance.

Groups are designed to target a specific problem, such as trauma, depression, anxiety, or substance abuse. Other groups focus more generally on improving social skills, helping you deal with a range of issues such as anger, shyness, loneliness, and low self-esteem. Some groups are designed for those who have experienced loss.

Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves one or more therapists working with several people at the same time. Group therapy is sometimes used alone, but it is also commonly integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan that also includes individual therapy and medication.
