Group therapy is a space facilitated by one or more mental health professionals where multiple participants engage in therapeutic work as a group.
While group therapy is not always a comfortable process, especially for the folks who have a hard time opening up, the groups can help with feeling seen and heard, communication and expression, sense of belonging, social anxiety, and building compassion and community.
Such groups can vary in their approach and can be designed to work with a specific concern from a variety of conditions, including, but not limited to, trauma, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
