Group therapy brings together people facing similar challenges—like substance use, grief, or trauma—into a safe, structured environment led by a licensed counselor. Sessions often include open discussions, guided exercises, and skills-building activities that help participants process emotions, gain insight, and develop coping tools.

Group therapy offers:

• Emotional support from peers
• Guidance from a trained counselor
• A chance to build confidence, trust, and community
• Opportunities to learn from others’ perspectives It’s a powerful reminder that you're not in this alone.

If you don’t feel comfortable sharing your experiences with multiple other patients, avoid group therapy. Instead, choose something more private and confidential, like individual therapy.
