What is Group Therapy?

Group therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps people grow, heal, and connect through shared experiences. Led by a trained therapist, group sessions typically include 6–10 participants who explore themes such as relationships, anxiety, self-esteem, grief, or personal growth in a safe, confidential environment.

Unlike individual therapy, group therapy offers the chance to receive feedback from multiple perspectives, build interpersonal skills, and feel supported by others who truly understand. Research shows that group therapy is just as effective as individual therapy for many concerns—including depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship difficulties (Burlingame, Strauss, & Joyce, 2013; American Psychological Association, 2021).

Group members often find comfort and strength in realizing they’re not alone. Sharing experiences and witnessing others’ progress can foster connection, self-awareness, and lasting change. Studies suggest that the sense of belonging and mutual support created in group settings is one of the most powerful drivers of improvement (Yalom & Leszcz, 2020).

Groups usually meet weekly for 90 minutes. While everyone’s participation style is different, most people find that as trust builds, they feel more comfortable sharing openly. You’ll have opportunities to listen, reflect, and practice new ways of relating to others in real time.

Group therapy may be a good fit if you:

  • Want to improve relationships or communication skills

  • Feel isolated or disconnected and want more support

  • Are repeating patterns you’d like to change

  • Want to build confidence and emotional awareness

It’s completely normal to feel uncertain about joining a group at first. Many people discover that what begins as a leap of courage becomes one of the most meaningful parts of their healing journey.
