Sharing your feelings with a group of strangers may seem like an intimidating experience, but group counseling can be incredibly powerful. Even if you aren’t an extrovert, or what you would call a “people person,” group counseling provides unique insight into many struggles that life throws at us. If you’ve ever been curious about whether or not group counseling could help you, I would encourage you to lean in, and give it a try. Many of our clients have benefited from being treated in a group counseling setting and the support it provides can be truly uplifting.

The exact structure of the group counseling will vary, but in general, group counseling is effective because it models the way you interact with others in your daily life. The other members of your group can give you feedback about your behavior and help you develop healthier and more productive ways to interact with others. You can be honest with the group about what you need at that moment and receive nonjudgmental support. If you need suggestions for alternative ways to behave, you can ask for feedback from others. If you need the group to gently push you in one direction, they are there for you. Group counseling works when all involved actively participate, express what they need, are honest about their challenges, and work on themselves between group sessions. When participating in group counseling, all members agree to keep all information that has been disclosed confidential

Some people might be hesitant to try group counseling because they feel self-conscious or awkward about the idea of sharing their feelings in a group setting. However, group therapy can offer a host of benefits, including:

Interpersonal support. It can be incredibly healing to know that you are not alone and that there are people in your life who have your back. Group counseling offers a collection of people who understand where you are coming from, appreciate your experience, and are rooting for your success.
A range of perspectives. Just as group therapy offers you with people who can relate to you, these people also inherently have different life experiences and outlooks. They can offer you perspectives that you may not have otherwise been able to see for a range of different topics
Hope and motivation. As you participate in group therapy and watch as the other members heal and grow, it gives you hope for your own future. In addition to being inspired by others, watching them succeed motivates you to become the best version of yourself.
