Is Group Therapy Right for Me?

Diving Deeper into Group Therapy

Knowing that we are interpersonal beings and need social engagement and support to flourish, we place a heavy emphasis on group therapy. If you are like most people, you probably don’t like the idea of group therapy. That’s fair! At the same time, group therapy has many benefits. First, the social support gained through group therapy is unmatched. You shouldn’t have to take the journey of mental health alone. In what other context will you be able to share deeply about your particular crosses with peers whom you will not interact with in any other capacity? It’s like a really good retreat where you connect deeply with the people around you and experience a profound sense of healing together. Second, group therapy is very affordable compared to individual therapy. You can gain all of the same skills, strategies, processing, support, and katharsis for 25% to 50% of the cost of individual therapy. Last, group therapy allows me to help more people in less time, without putting pressure on individuals to end therapy so others can “have the timeslot.” If you are curious about how group therapy might be the right fit for you, please feel free to reach out!
