    Individual Therapy:

    • Personalized Attention: Focused support for your unique issues.

    • Privacy: Talk freely without worrying about being judged.

    • Pace Control: Work at your own speed for deeper understanding.

    Group Therapy:

    • Shared Experiences: Relate to others with similar struggles.

    • Diverse Perspectives: Learn different ways to cope and solve problems.

    • Cost-Effective: Often cheaper than individual therapy.

    Think about whether you prefer personal attention or sharing in a group. Mixing both types of therapy can also be helpful. Discussing your options with a therapist can guide you to the right choice.

  • Group therapy is a structured setting where a small group meets regularly with a therapist to share experiences, feelings, and challenges. Sessions start with a check-in for members to discuss their week or specific issues. The therapist facilitates discussions, encouraging participation.

    Benefits of group therapy include:

    • Shared Experiences: Members realize they are not alone, fostering community.

    • Diverse Perspectives: Listening to others provides new insights and coping strategies.

    • Social Skills Development: Participants practice communication in a safe environment.

    • Accountability: Regular attendance promotes commitment to personal growth.

    • Feedback and Support: Immediate feedback from peers boosts motivation and self-esteem.

    Overall, group therapy is a collaborative process aimed at personal and collective goals in a supportive environment.
