The Benefits of Group Therapy

Why group therapy?

There is no doubt that the challenges humans are facing today can feel unprecedented. To some, group counseling is the preferred method of treatment due to its unique learning advantages. As you may already know, group counseling is conducted by a facilitator, and has a limited number of participants. There is a specific focus which may be educational, problem-oriented, or centered around personal growth. A group can offer understanding and support which can lead to participants feeling more aware of themselves and the behaviors they are displaying. There can be a sense of belonging and understanding that feels very supportive while exploring new behaviors or ways of thinking.

Goals of group therapy & how it can work for you

Oftentimes, the members of the group will decide what their specific goals are and what they are looking to experience during their sessions. This could be increased awareness, a better understanding of their identity, being able to see the commonality of the issues they are wanting to resolve, or learning how to establish better relationships in their lives. There are also groups centered around how to better support family or friends that are going through a difficult time.

So how can group therapy benefit you?

1. It can help you build connections. 

It can sometimes be challenging to experience meaningful connections. Group therapy can provide a safe space to form lasting bonds in your community. Shared experiences can help create friendships and a sense of belonging.

2. It can help you create more balance in your life. 

When things feel overwhelming, we can start to feel this longing for balance in our lives. In group therapy you can learn strategies that can help you manage your daily life. The group can help you learn stress management techniques and mindfulness practices that can better equip you with the tools you need. These can help you navigate life's challenges with more confidence and ease. 

3. A safe space to share. 

Undoubtedly one of the greatest benefits of group counseling is being able to share and listen in a supportive, non-judgemental environment. Creating a space where you are able to express your thoughts and feelings openly is very important to us. We want you to feel that you’ll be met with empathy and understanding, and that our group atmosphere can foster the personal growth and healing you’ve been looking for.
