Group Therapy

Group therapy can be a powerful therapeutic modality that offers unique benefits not always available in individual therapy. It is cost effective, offers opportunities for social connection and validation, as well it's backed by science for skill building and effective treatment. However, it's important to note that group therapy may not be suitable for everyone, and individual preferences and needs should be taken into account when considering treatment options.
