What is Group Psychotherapy
Group psychotherapy, also called group therapy, involves one or more therapists working with a small group of clients simultaneously to provide psychological support, teach coping strategies, and foster personal growth. The trained therapist guides a small group of individuals to address personal, emotional, or behavioral challenges collectively.
Groups typically consist of 3 to 8 members and meet for 60 to 120 minutes weekly, either in-person or online. Unlike support groups, group therapy is professionally led and focuses on both symptom relief and long-term behavioral or emotional change.

Cohesiveness
A sense of belonging fosters trust and engagement.
Catharsis
Expressing emotions in a safe environment provides relief.
Additional benefits
Additional benefits include practical skill development, improved coping strategies, social support, cost efficiency, and exposure to diverse perspectives.
Participation and Consideration
Group therapy can be standalone or complementary to individual therapy.
Members are encouraged to actively participate, share experiences, and provide feedback to others.
