group therapy

Shared healing sessions

Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy where a small number of people meet together with one or more therapists to work on psychological issues.

Participants share experiences, offer support, and learn from each other's struggles: I've been in group therapy for anxiety.

The format can address addiction, grief, trauma, or general mental health, and is often more affordable than individual therapy.
