Group Therapy

Group therapy is a type of therapy in which a group of 5 or more people come together for group discussion, accountability, and personal growth. These groups are typically informal with group therapy sessions led by a trained professional with specific goals dictated by the they of group session.

Typically, people have an innate desire to want to be part of a community with others whom have similar circumstances and/or experiences. Group therapy, because of peoples desire to come together and relate to others, can be extremely powerful and serves as a great adjunct to individual therapy.

One reason for the effectiveness of group therapy is that simply being in a group, in general, has mental health therapeutic qualities. Science tells us that socializing in groups reduces feelings of isolation, and empowers people to improve behaviors by watching others do so.
