GROUP PSYCHOTHERAPY

What is Group Psychotherapy?


It is a form of psychotherapy that involves sessions guided by a professionally trained therapist and attended by several clients (6-12) who confront their personal problems together.

It provides a safe, supportive place where you come together with others to share problems or concerns, to better understand your own situation, and to learn from and with each other.

Group therapy addresses feelings of isolation, depression or anxiety. And it helps people make significant changes so they feel better about the quality of their lives. It is generally more cost effective than individual therapy, and possibly even more effective. A private meeting with the group therapist is usually required before the group meets for the first time.
