What is Group Therapy?

Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves one or more therapists working with a small group of people who have similar mental health concerns.

  • Better Self-Awareness and Self-Acceptance

  • Enhanced Communication and Interpersonal Skills

  • Increased Support and Social Connections

Disorders that Group Therapy at Williamsburg Therapy Group can help treat

According to the APA, group therapy is just as effective as individual therapy. In some cases, group therapy is actually more effective than individual therapy. Group therapy is beneficial for any issue where patients need a "sounding board," or a group of people off of whom to bounce ideas. Members of the group benefit from the collective life experiences of the group. Group counseling can help with traumas and many other problems that a lot of people face, like:

Depression & Anxiety

Group therapy can give people with depression a safe place to talk about their feelings and get validation and support from other people. People with anxiety disorders can learn how to deal with and control their symptoms in a group setting through group therapy.

Eating Disorders

Group therapy can give people with eating disorders a safe and supportive place to talk about their problems and learn healthy ways to deal with them.

Substance Abuse Disorder

Group therapy can hold people in recovery from substance abuse disorders accountable and give them support. It can also help them learn healthy ways to deal with stress and avoid relapse.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

People with PTSD can talk about their experiences and get support and validation from others who have also been through trauma in a safe and supportive setting in group therapy.
