d. Group Therapy

Our group therapies foster emotional growth and problem solving skills by utilizing the influence of peers with the guidance of a licensed therapist. Group members often watch others cope with and overcome similar problems successfully, instilling hope and inspiration. Our groups increase emotional stability, cognitive restructuring and modeling behavioral change. Groups inspire feelings of acceptance, importance, empathy and offer the unique opportunity to help others. Clients are encouraged to provide feedback about the appropriateness of other group members’ behaviors. The directness and honesty the feedback offers provides much-needed behavioral contracting and correction, thus improving relationships both within and outside of the group.
