Group Therapy

Group therapy provides patients with the opportunity to explore feelings, learn, and practice new skills in a safe environment. The professional leading the group uses the group’s strengths to address the specific issues each member is facing. He or she can work individually with members during group meetings to provide customized experiences for each person. Group members can choose how much to involve themselves in group discussions, which can produce lessanxiety than a one-on-one therapy environmentfor some people.

Group counseling is often a great accompaniment to individual or family therapy—it can be easier to fit into a schedule and is more socially oriented. This type of therapy provides the individual with information about what is working in the lives of others experiencing similar issues and allows the patient to provide support to other group members, resulting in enhanced self-esteem.

Individual Counseling

Oftentimes, people seek counseling because they are experiencing feelings or behaviors that keep them from enjoying everyday activities. Our highly-trained mental health professionals listen to your concerns, and help you resolve these issues effectively in a confidential, nonjudgmental manner. We can help you understand your feelings, gain perspective and find solutions to problems.

Issues addressed in therapy include:

  • Stress
  • Family crisis
  • Psychological issues, such as depression, anxiety, or anger
  • Eating disorders
  • Substance abuse
  • Grief
  • Relationship struggles
  • Conflict management
