Group Therapy

Help yourself and others in group therapy while benefiting from the support of other people with similar experiences.

Most group therapy sessions contain members at different stages of the therapy process which can be extremely beneficial for all members. Seeing people who are recovering is inspiring to those at the beginning of the process and helping and sharing information with others in the group can boost self-esteem and confidence.
