Group Counseling
What
is Group Counseling?
– Group
is a therapy format that approaches issues of personal growth through the use
of interpersonal interaction – to interact with others to identify and
understand our maladaptive patterns and how to change them. Group
interactions provide an opportunity to build relationships and receive
interpersonal feedback about how we experience one another. You can gain
specific skills and strategies to meet personal goals, explore areas that
present personal challenges, and gain support and encouragement from
others. Group is one of the most effective ways to explore and support
changes you wish to make in your life.
