Millions of Americans are experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD and other forms of mental illness on a daily basis.  There are those whom are experiencing challenging life experiences and need a space to explore the issues that are showing up.  Trauma survivors are those who also need a space to process the past events and begin rebuilding themselves. 

 

Many are beginning to take the courageous step to begin to take care of themselves by seeking therapy.  Therapy is a journey where you can learn about yourself and how you relate to others.  It can also bring about new insights that foster growth and wisdom.  It can be a challenge at first to make the decision to begin group therapy.  Thus here are some advantages of engaging in group therapy.

 

• Gain opportunities to share and explore about concerns or happiness in a safe environment without judgement.

• It's "cost effective" and more affordable than individual therapy.

• Receive support and encouragement from fellow group members.

• By having more people in group one has a variety of perspectives to listen to and benefit from.
