Hesitant About Group Therapy?

Groups can be an opportunity to connect to others going through similar struggles and life challenges. Groups create a safe space to look at issues affecting your emotional, social and behavioral health, while receiving support, encouragement and insight. Groups have been proven to be a significant way to manage issues like depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and substance abuse.  Sometimes groups are the best way to get support because members can relate to one another based on similar experiences.

In recognizing shared experiences, group members can be inspired to find hope for recovering, improve self-esteem, overcome challenges, and overcome loneliness. Often it is helpful to learn how others manage their life challenges as a way to find help for your own. Groups are all facilitated by a licensed mental health clinician.  Mental health groups typically meet once weekly; substance abuse treatment groups vary in frequency based on level of care. Groups can vary in size from 4-10 people and offer a “safe space” to talk about shared issues.

“Group is a safe space for me and offers something different compared to individual therapy.”

Groups emphasize and honor the confidentiality and safety of each member. Prior to starting group, you will go through a screening to determine, what services would best meet your needs.
