The idea of group therapy may be new to you, or you may wonder if it will help you. The great news is that group therapy has been shown to be as or more effective than individual therapy, and while the idea of sharing your private struggles with a group of people you don’t know yet can feel scary and vulnerable, doing just that in a safe, professionally conducted group therapy environment can be extraordinarily healing and create a tremendous sense of connection, self-acceptance, and personal empowerment.
