What is Group Therapy?

Group therapy involves a small group of individuals coming together to discuss shared experiences under the guidance of a licensed therapist. It fosters connection, reduces feelings of isolation, and provides multiple perspectives for personal growth. Group therapy is highly effective for addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health challenges.

> Feel isolated or struggle to connect with others.
> Want to improve your interpersonal skills.
