Group Therapy

Group therapy is a type of psychotherapy in which one or more therapists work with and support a small group of individuals facing similar challenges such as anxiety or depression. In this setting, individuals can share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and supportive environment. This process allows individuals to develop healthy coping strategies and connect with others who are dealing with similar issues. Group therapy can also provide a sense of community and alleviate feelings of isolation.
