GROUP COUNSELING
WHAT TO EXPECT
Group counseling involves a small number of people meeting under the guidance of a professionally trained clinician within a safe and supportive space. There are two main forms of groups:
Psychoeducational groups focus on a group facilitator providing education about a specific topic (such as depression, parenting, or cognitive-behavioral therapy skills). The goal is for clients to learn new ways to cope and grow in their lives.
Process-oriented groups focus on the interpersonal exchanges between members who have a shared interest in a particular topic due to experience (such as grief and loss or substance use recovery). The dynamics between members of this group focus on promoting learning from one another, understanding, support, encouragement, and healing.
REASONS TO JOIN
There are many benefits associated with group counseling participation. These are just a few:
- Confidentiality
- Lower cost than individual therapy (and still as effective for many mental health issues)
- Greater self-understanding
- Feeling less isolated
- Learning effective personal and interpersonal coping strategies
- Promotion of social skills
- Reduction of mental health symptoms
- Greater accountability for change
- Improved quality of life
If you have a specific group request that is not one of our current groups, please feel free to submit a Group Appointment Request (select the option Other for the Counseling Groups dropdown). After you select Other, let us know what group would be helpful to you on your healing journey.
