What is Group Therapy

Understanding the process
A small group of adults in an attentive and supportive group therapy session in Ramsey NJ and Bergen County

Group therapy is a therapist led session where individuals come together to talk, listen, and learn from one another. While each person has their own experiences, many of the struggles are shared, which creates a powerful sense of connection and understanding.

It can help with concerns such as:

  • Anxiety and social anxiety
  • Depression and low mood
  • Stress and burnout
  • Relationship challenges
  • Loneliness or isolation
  • Difficulty expressing thoughts or emotions
Over time, group members often feel more comfortable expressing themselves, develop stronger social skills, and gain insight that is difficult to achieve alone.
