Group Psychotherapy
Group psychotherapy can help facilitate personal growth and healing in addition to the individual psychotherapy and medication management you may already be receiving. In a group setting, you can benefit from the shared experiences of others, which can normalize your experiences and make you feel less alone in your struggles. Working on therapy skills with others can be motivating and inspiring, making group therapy a valuable part of your treatment plan.
