Group Therapy
Here at Psychotherapy for You, we offer Group Therapy, a valuable form of talk therapy.
Our Group Therapy sessions involve up to 12 participants in a supportive small group, led by a Psychotherapy for You partner therapist. These weekly sessions focus on developing practical skills related to a specific therapeutic topic. The length and duration of programs vary to meet diverse needs.
Group Therapy can be a standalone option for skill development or used with Individual Therapy, based on your treatment plan. The group setting also helps participants connect with others facing similar concerns, reducing isolation and promoting mutual learning.
Please contact us if you have any questions about our Group Therapy offerings.
