Group therapy

Group therapy is a type of therapy where individuals with similar concerns work together with a trained therapist. It provides social support, improves communication skills, and increases self-awareness. Members learn new coping skills, receive feedback, and feel less isolated. Group therapy can address various mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. A trained therapist facilitates the group, ensuring a productive and safe environment. Group therapy is a powerful tool for personal growth and healing.
