Group Counseling
Group counseling involves one clinican, or an assisting provider, working with several people at the same time. Group counseling is widely available in a variety of locations such as private practices, hospitals, mental health clinics, and community health centers.
Group counseling is sometimes used by itself, ( e.g., support group) and is commonly integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan that includes individual counseling. Group counseling allows members to receive the support and encouragement of the other members of the group. Members of the group can see that others are going through similar difficulties, which can help them feel less alone and motivate towards change.
