Group Counseling & Art Therapy

 

Request Appointment


 
Group counseling is a type of psychotherapy where individuals with a similar challenge meet to learn, discuss problems, listen to one another, and work towards common goals. Some groups are time limited (1 hour a week for 6 weeks) while others may be ongoing    ( 1.5 hours a week every week).

There are multiple benefits to group therapy. The most important benefit, is learning we are not alone. Groups create a positive source of support for people working towards similar goals. Group members support one another and provide accountability. They also provide opportunities to develop and practice new skills in a supportive environment.
