• Group Therapy
  
  What It Is
  Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy in which we work with a small group of patients with a designated focus for treatment.
  

• When It’s Needed
  Group Psychotherapy can be a valuable addition to individual therapy or stand alone treatment for a variety of different disorders. Joining a group of strangers and sharing your deepest feelings may seem intimidating, however group therapy provides additional benefits over individual therapy and can be very effective. Group therapy involves one psychologist leading a group of patients (anywhere from 5-10 patients). Each session is one hour in length, and meets once or twice a week. Many of the groups are focused on treating a particular problems such as depression, anxiety, obesity, panic disorder, social anxiety, dealing with life challenges post traumatic brain injury (TBI), working with individuals who have a post traumatic stress disorder diagnosis, and mindfulness groups.

• Potential Benefits
  Group Therapy can be incredibly valuable and rewarding. Groups can improve social skills, help people improve their self-esteem and ability to speak in public. Group therapy can be an effective technique to help people that are shy or have low self-esteem. By regularly talking about your own issues and listening to other people’s problems helps you achieve a different perspective on yourself and your own problems.
