Group Therapy
Peer-to-peer Interaction
In group therapy, five to ten people meet face-to-face with one or more trained group therapists and talk about what is troubling them. Group therapy provides exciting opportunities for growth and development. Groups meet weekly. Groups tend to be anywhere from 1 to 2 hours in length. Confidentiality is discussed in all groups. Group orientations (30-minute introductory meeting with a therapist) are required prior to joining some groups.
Group offers:
- An open, trusting, and safe environment
- Hope, genuineness, caring, and support
- A place to feel accepted and connected
- The opportunity to learn about one’s self and different ways of relating to people
