Group Therapy FAQs
Group therapy involves a small group of people who meet regularly with a trained therapist to discuss and explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The goal is to provide support, share experiences, and learn new coping skills in a safe, confidential environment.
We offer various types of groups, such as support groups, skill-building groups, and process groups. Each group has a specific focus, such as managing anxiety, building healthy relationships, or achieving weight loss goals.
Open groups: New members can join at any time as long as there is space. These groups often have a more flexible structure and allow for ongoing participation.
Closed groups: Membership is fixed, meaning the same group of people participates for the entire duration of the group. These groups provide a consistent environment and typically last for a set number of weeks.Our groups usually range from 6 to 10 members. This size ensures that everyone has a chance to participate while still allowing for a variety of perspectives.
Each group session typically lasts 60–90 minutes, depending on the group. Groups may run for a set number of weeks or continue on an ongoing basis, depending on the type of group.
In group therapy, you gain support from others who may share similar challenges and learn from their experiences. The group setting provides a unique opportunity to practice new skills and receive feedback in a safe and supportive environment. Individual therapy focuses on one-on-one work with your therapist.

You are encouraged to share at your own comfort level. There is no pressure to speak until you feel ready, and some members find it helpful to start by listening to others before contributing.
