How Long Do Group Therapy Sessions Last?

Whether an hour-long session providing focused support or a two-hour session allowing for deeper exploration, our goal remains constant: to create a nurturing environment conducive to personal growth and collective healing.

What to Expect During a Group Session

Group therapy sessions, guided by one or more psychotherapists, involve a group of participants gathering for a one to two-hour guided therapy session.

Sessions focus on various personal development areas, such as:

• Improving social skills

• ...and more

Groups are a proven effective resource to help those who have experienced loss, are dealing with complex life issues, or are struggling with interpersonal problems.

Benefits of Group Therapy

The principal purpose of group therapy sessions is to allow you to interact with other participants who may be experiencing similar challenges and life issues. Camaraderie helps break down walls, lessen anxiety, and promote collaborative engagement.

Here are the many ways you’ll benefit from group sessions.

• Unique support network: Group sessions offer a different level of support compared to individual therapy. Members often discover unexpected rewards from the group experience.
• Collective problem-solving: Within the group, diverse perspectives lead to innovative ideas for overcoming challenges. Members provide specific and actionable suggestions, fostering accountability and progress.
• Perspective and community: Engaging with diverse voices allows you to contextualize your own struggles and helps in understanding that difficulties are common and shared.
• Diverse insights: Diversity within the group exposes you to various approaches and strategies. Witnessing how others tackle problems empowers you to explore a spectrum of methods to address your concerns.
