What is Group Therapy?

Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy in which one or more therapists treat a small group of patients together as a group. Group therapy can help people manage mental health conditions or cope with negative behaviors and experiences. Group therapy can give more people access to mental healthcare and can reduce wait times for seeing a provider.
