What is Group Counseling?
In group counseling (also called group therapy), you meet with one or two therapists and several other clients. Groups typically include 4-8 clients. Our psychoeducational groups focus on a specific theme about a common concern shared among clients. Other groups, however, are open to clients with a range of mental health concerns and focus more generally on how we relate to other people. Through group counseling, you may improve your communication skills, realize you are not alone in your concerns, learn about how you interact with others, and increase your coping skills.
