Group Counseling
Group Counseling is a highly effective, evidence-based modality that utilizes the power of shared experience and interpersonal dynamics to facilitate healing and personal growth. At Therapy Helps, our group services provide a safe, confidential environment where individuals can gain support, develop coping strategies, and realize they are not alone in their struggles.
Group Structure
- Size & Duration: Groups typically consist of 5 to 10 participants and meet for 60 to 90 minutes on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
- Facilitation: Led by professional and empathetic clinicians to ensure equitable participation, and maintain ethical boundaries.
- Confidentiality: All members sign a strict confidentiality agreement to protect the privacy and identity of everyone in the room.
