About Group Therapy

Group therapy offers numerous benefits. Firstly, it provides a supportive and empathetic environment where individuals can share their experiences and feel understood. This is particularly important as it allows participants to express their thoughts and emotions without judgment, fostering a sense of acceptance and validation. Moreover, the presence of others who have gone through similar struggles can be incredibly comforting and reassuring, reinforcing the idea that they are not alone in their journey.

Secondly, group therapy promotes social interaction and helps in developing healthy relationships. Through engaging with others in a therapeutic setting, individuals have the opportunity to practice effective communication skills, active listening, and empathy. These skills can then be transferred to their personal and professional lives, leading to more fulfilling and meaningful connections with others. In addition, the group setting provides a safe space for individuals to explore and work through relational issues, such as trust, boundaries, and conflict resolution.

Thirdly, group therapy offers a sense of belonging and reduces feelings of isolation. Many individuals who seek therapy often experience a sense of isolation or alienation due to their struggles. However, in a group therapy setting, they are able to connect with others who have had similar experiences, creating a sense of community and shared understanding. This sense of belonging can be incredibly powerful in reducing

We offer a variety of groups focused on certain skills for different age groups.

**This group is currently closed to new members but we have a waitlist and may potentially start a new group when we have enough interest.

DnD is a fantasy role playing game where kids create characters and make decisions in response to the world, which is controlled by the therapist. This means that DnD is a safe place to experiment with behaviors with in-game consequences, explore aspects of themselves, negotiate desires and solutions to problems amongst the team and make group decisions, and, most importantly, be silly and have fun!
