Group Therapy Q & A

What is group therapy?

Group therapy is psychotherapy that provides therapeutic support to several people experiencing similar challenges at the same time. These challenges can include:

Abuse
Divorce
Addiction
Eating disorders
Mental health issues
Developmental disabilities
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Groups can range in size from 3-4 persons to 12 or more. Therapy sessions are offered once or twice a week based on the nature of the group.

Pioneer Counseling and Consulting offers group therapy sessions in person and via a telehealth platform. The experienced therapists guide group sessions and ensure that participants have a safe space to share their thoughts, emotions, and experiences with peers.

When should I consider group therapy?

Group therapy can be a part of your overall treatment plan for specific emotional or mental health concerns or life circumstances.

The Pioneer Counseling and Consulting team could recommend that you attend group therapy sessions in addition to your individual or family therapy sessions.

Group therapy is most effective when you’re willing to share your thoughts and experiences. Your therapist can help you decide whether group therapy would be an appropriate support strategy based on your personality, goals, and other factors.

What are the benefits of group therapy?

Group therapy offers many benefits to people facing challenges, including the encouragement and support of peers who have had similar experiences. This connection helps you recognize that you’re not alone and provides a sense of security within the group.

Another benefit of group therapy is the first-hand experience of seeing how other people react to challenging circumstances. This observation provides valuable insight into the changes you can make to navigate difficult situations in healthier ways.

Participating in group therapy sessions gives you a safe space to share difficult emotions and thoughts. Releasing pain and stress in a supportive setting is a powerful way to boost your self-confidence while helping others navigate challenging circumstances.

The shared experience of the group can often help members spark new ideas for moving forward or facing challenges with a different perspective.
