Wondering about Group Therapy – but not sure it’s for you.
You think, “Should I do Group Therapy? Is it for me?” There are many possible reasons for the quandary you face.

What should you expect in group therapy?
Most group members are initially tentative and unsure if Group Therapy (offered in Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Michigan) is right for them. But after attending a few sessions, they start to feel a sense of acceptance and security while sharing their experiences with the members, who offer suggestions, understanding, and support.
A therapist is present and provides feedback to everyone in the group. When appropriate, the therapist will also address each member’s specific concerns with the group, so you do receive some individual attention.
Privacy is paramount for effective Group Therapy. The information discussed in our groups is STRICTLY confidential. Before starting, all members agree to keep private the names and experiences of the other participants. Therefore, there should not be any discussion with anyone outside the group, including family members.
Group Therapy offers many benefits – see if it fits your needs.
Group counseling in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Michigan is an excellent addition to individual therapy or a great alternative when individual therapy is not possible.
