What is Group Therapy?

Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy where a small group—usually consisting of 5 to 12 participants—comes together under the guidance of a licensed therapist to address mental health concerns, share experiences, and develop effective coping skills.

This collaborative approach creates a structured and compassionate environment where individuals can gain valuable insights, feel supported, and learn from the perspectives of others—all while receiving professional guidance from an experienced mental health clinician.

Types of Group Therapy

Group therapy is a highly effective approach to treating a variety of mental health concerns.

It is particularly valuable for individuals dealing with emotional struggles, behavioral challenges, or social and interpersonal difficulties, providing a supportive space for shared experiences, skill development, and genuine connection with others who understand similar challenges.

Is Group Therapy Right for You?

Group therapy can be a powerful and rewarding option for individuals who:

  • Are seeking connection and support from others who share similar experiences
  • Struggle with feelings of isolation or interpersonal difficulties
  • Thrive in a structured environment that teaches practical coping strategies
  • Are exploring a more cost-effective alternative to individual therapy

While group therapy offers significant benefits, those dealing with intensive trauma or who prefer highly personalized care may find individual therapy to be a better fit.
