Group therapy brings together several people with a therapist, meeting regularly to work on shared or overlapping concerns.

 

Change happens in real time, with real people

​

In group therapy, the patterns you struggle with in life—avoidance, people-pleasing, anger, withdrawal, feeling invisible—show up in the room.

​

You don’t just talk about relationships; you experience and work with them live. That “in-the-moment” learning is hard to reproduce one-on-one.

​

You learn how you impact others—and how they impact you Group members gently reflect how they experience you:

​

• “When you went quiet, I felt pushed away.”

• “I felt closer to you when you said that.”

 

This kind of honest, human feedback is rare in everyday life and transformative when held safely.

​

You discover you’re not alone (and not uniquely flawed) Hearing others articulate thoughts you’ve never dared to say out loud can be profoundly relieving.

​

• Shame softens.

• Self-blame loosens.

• Compassion—for yourself and others—grows.

 

This isn’t reassurance from a therapist; it’s recognition from peers.

You practice new ways of relating—with support

​

Group therapy is a laboratory:

​

• Setting boundaries

• Expressing anger or vulnerability

• Asking for help

• Tolerating closeness or difference

• You get to try, stumble, repair, and try again—with guidance and support.

 

The group becomes a powerful source of support and motivation Over time, members matter to one another. People notice your growth. They miss you when you’re absent. They challenge you when you retreat. That sense of belonging—and accountability—can accelerate change in ways individual therapy often can’t.

​

Individual therapy helps you understand yourself.

 

Group therapy helps you experience yourself in relationship—and change there.
