Group Therapy

Group therapy is a powerful form of psychotherapy where one or more therapists work with several clients at the same time. Groups usually include five to fifteen members who meet regularly to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a supportive environment. Unlike individual therapy, where the focus is solely on you and your therapist, group therapy uses the relationships between members as part of the healing process. Sessions may focus on specific issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship challenges, and can follow different therapeutic approaches such as cognitive-behavioral or interpersonal therapy.

A group setting provides a safe and structured space guided by a therapist, where members are encouraged to share experiences, listen to others, and offer feedback. Over time, the group becomes a source of connection and understanding. Key therapeutic elements include realizing you’re not alone, finding hope through others’ progress, and learning new ways of relating to people. These dynamics can create meaningful personal growth that extends beyond the therapy room.

One of the main strengths of group therapy is how closely it mirrors real-life social situations. By interacting with others in the group, participants can identify patterns in their behavior, receive constructive feedback, and practice healthier communication skills. This makes it particularly effective for people who struggle with social anxiety, low self-esteem, or difficulties forming and maintaining relationships.

Group therapy also offers practical benefits. Sharing experiences with others who face similar struggles can foster empathy, connection, and motivation. Seeing others make progress can inspire hope and confidence in your own ability to change, while supporting others can boost self-esteem and purpose.
