Group therapy is a supportive and extremely effective means of counseling.  With the direction of the therapist, members of a group work together and help one another through the process of self-discovery and healing.

Group therapy can be an important tool during therapy because it provides a social context for personal issues and the group offers support during challenging times. Some clients choose to go to support groups or self-help groups, but Group therapy is different than a support group like alcoholics anonymous because it is facilitated by a trained therapist.  Groups can be "closed" where the group meets for just a few sessions or "open" groups, which meet numerous times until the group agrees to close. Groups can be beneficial for almost everyone.

Group therapy that you will find on this page are most often led by a licensed professional and can address various therapeutic topics.
