What is Group Therapy?

Group Therapy is a form of counseling where a trained therapist works with several people at the same time. Instead of one-on-one sessions like Individual Therapy, group therapy uses connection and community as part of the healing process.

In these therapy groups, people talk about their experiences, feelings, and struggles. They also learn new coping tools such as DBT skills, Distress Tolerance, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Emotion Regulation.

Benefits of Group Therapy

Group therapy offers many benefits that go beyond individual sessions:

Supportive Environment – A safe place where everyone respects one another.
New Perspectives – Hearing from others helps you see problems in a new way.
Skill Development – Learn practical life skills for daily stress and relationships.
Reduced Isolation – Feel less alone by connecting with people who understand.
Practice Communication – Improve interpersonal dynamics and relationship skills.

Healing does not have to happen alone. In fact, group therapy helps people grow by sharing the journey with others.
