At Your Story Counseling\, we continue to remain wise to the struggles of those around us to develop group therapy and support groups that address these issues. \nIf you’re currently grappling with the decision to begin therapy or not\, group therapy may be a beneficial place for you to begin your journey towards healing. Regardless of your current situation\, sharing your struggles amongst a group of individuals going through a similar condition with the guidance of a therapist provides its unique benefits to interact with peers and discuss the current chapter of your life as it is. \nIt provides different perspectives on the conflicts of life while also offering individuals the opportunity to improve their relationships with others. At the end of the day\, we’re all looking for ways to better cope and manage the world’s stress around us\, and sometimes the best thing is knowing that we aren’t alone in that.[/vc_column_text]OUR SERVICES[vc_media_grid element_width=”2″ gap=”10″ css=”.vc_custom_1709762882131{margin-bottom: 2.1px !important;border-top-width: 2.1px !important;border-bottom-width: 10px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;}” grid_id=”vc_gid:1779984414881-85a1fe01-5156-4″ include=”2707\,2728\,3589\,3578\,3585\,2708″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1619458807975{padding-top: 5.67em !important;padding-bottom: 8.75em !important;background-color: #f6f6f6 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1619458758904{padding-top: 5em !important;}”]Group Therapy & SupportWhat to ExpectContact Us[/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1619458772194{padding-top: 3.3em !important;}”][vc_tta_accordion color=”white” c_icon=”triangle” active_section=”2″][vc_tta_section title=”Do groups meet online or in person?” tab_id=”1614107117230-29b35d12-eaac6765-7888″][vc_column_text]Most of our groups occur in person each week at Your Story Counseling.

What are the benefits?” tab_id=”1614107698827-f8492cd6-59066765-7888″][vc_column_text]Research shows that group therapy is as effective as individual therapy for specific and presenting concerns. At Your Story Counseling\, we also believe group therapy is an excellent stepping stone for those considering individual therapy for the first time. It also serves as an immediate offering to those who are currently on a waitlist for individual therapy and can help with the following: \n\nDecrease social isolation\nLearn healthy coping skills\nGain an understanding of problems and explore solutions\nPractice interpersonal skills in a safe group setting\nDevelop/practice healthy communication skills.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
