At MPower Wellness, group therapy is an integral part of our holistic approach to mental health care. It creates a friendly space where you can meet others who get what you’re going through and foster a sense of belonging. With the help of experienced therapists, group therapy creates a space for healing, growth, and resilience, all through the power of shared experiences and support from one another.
What Is Group Therapy?
Group therapy is a type of psychotherapy where people gather in a safe and private space to focus on common goals together. With licensed therapists at the helm, these sessions are designed to help you:
- Learn from the experiences of others
- Develop communication and interpersonal skills
- Gain support and encouragement from peers
- Explore new perspectives and coping strategies
- Feel less isolated by connecting with others who share similar challenges
Whether you’re addressing a specific mental health condition or just looking for some extra support, group therapy can be a powerful complement to individual therapy.
How We Use Group Therapy to Treat Mental Health Conditions
Group therapy plays a key role in our comprehensive treatment programs. It’s tailored to address a variety of mental health conditions, including:
• Substance Use Disorders (SUD): Share experiences and learn practical tools to support recovery from addiction.
• Eating Disorders: Build a healthier relationship with food and body image through shared understanding and encouragement.
• Anxiety Disorders: Develop strategies to reduce worry, manage stress, and regain confidence in social settings.
• Depression: Find hope and strength by connecting with others who understand the challenges of depression.
• Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): Explore emotional regulation and relationship skills in a supportive group setting.
• Trauma: Process traumatic experiences and build resilience with others who have experienced similar challenges.
Group therapy can take several forms, like Support Groups, Psychoeducational Groups, Skill Development Groups, and Process-Oriented Groups, to provide targeted and effective support.
What to Expect in Group Therapy
