Group Therapy

Group therapy offers the opportunity for group members to engage with, and receive feedback from peers, providing a richer, broader experience than one-on-one individual therapy.  It also frequently serves as a compliment to individual therapy, creating a space where members receive support from others who may face similar struggles and practice newfound skills and ways of being.
