GROUP THERAPY & SUPPORT GROUPS
Group Therapy - Group therapy is a process through which a small group of people (generally six to ten) meet face-to-face with a trained group therapist to talk about a variety of issues including grief/bereavement, anger management, eating disorders, living with chronic depression or anxiety, recovering from childhood sexual abuse, etc. Group members share and explore their feelings and behaviors, hear different points of view and coping strategies, and receive encouragement from others facing similar issues. Groups typically meet weekly or every other week on an ongoing basis so that new members are invited to join as openings are created by those who leave. A therapy group is meant to be a safe confidential environment in which individuals can experiment with new behaviors and new ways of looking at her/his life. Members learn how they can achieve more happiness in general and how to create meaningful, supportive and loving relationships with others. Psychotherapy groups can be particularly helpful in improving interpersonal relationships and offer a powerful opportunity for positive change as group members learn from each other in a safe and supportive environment while working toward healing.
