What is Group Therapy?

Group Therapy is a therapeutic approach that involves regular, structured meetings of individuals facing similar challenges. Facilitated by a skilled professional, it provides a safe space where participants can share experiences, learn new coping strategies, and harness the power of shared empathy and understanding to catalyze their individual growth. As a participant, you’re not only given a platform to express your emotions and confront your concerns, but you also have the unique opportunity to draw strength from others who are traversing similar paths, fostering a sense of camaraderie and mutual empowerment.
