Group therapy is a very effective treatment approach. Studies have shown equal success between individual therapy and group therapy. In fact, there are many advantages and opportunities in group therapy that are not available with individual therapy.

Group therapy provides clients with a setting where they can share similar concerns with others. With this safe and supportive environment, clients feel acceptance, caring and empathy. Clients can learn from each other's experiences and provide possible solutions to problems.

Group therapy gives clients the opportunity to practice communication and coping skills, as well as self-disclosure and new behavior. Lastly, group therapy is a positive occasion for trust, cooperation and involvement with others.
