What is Group Therapy?
How Group Therapy Works
Group therapy brings people together in a structured, confidential setting led by a trained therapist. It combines professional guidance with the power of shared experience—helping members feel less alone, learn practical coping strategies, and practice healthier ways of relating. Many people find group therapy impactful because real-time connection and feedback can accelerate growth.
Who Can Benefit From Group Therapy?
Group therapy can be a great fit if you want support that’s both professional and relational—where you can learn tools, feel understood, and grow alongside others who “get it.”

What to Expect in Group Therapy
Sessions usually include a check-in, guided discussion, and skills or exercises tailored to the group’s focus (for example: anxiety skills, DBT skills, trauma recovery, grief support, or relationship patterns). You can share at your own pace—there’s no pressure to disclose more than you’re comfortable with—while the therapist keeps the group safe, structured, and respectful. Over time, members build trust, practice new tools, and apply what they learn to daily life.

FAQs About Group Therapy
Do I have to talk in group therapy?
You’re encouraged to participate, but you can share at your own pace. Many people start by listening, then gradually speak more as they feel safer and more comfortable.
Can group therapy replace individual therapy?
Sometimes it can, but many people do best with a combination. Individual therapy can offer more privacy and personalized pacing, while group therapy provides connection, perspective, and real-time practice.
What can I do to get the most out of group therapy?
Show up, be open to practicing skills, and set small goals for participation (even if it’s just sharing one honest check-in). Progress often comes from steady engagement rather than “perfect” sharing.
