What is Group Therapy?
Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy where one or more therapists work with several people simultaneously. This approach is based on the premise that individuals can benefit from shared experiences and peer support facing similar challenges. It is a space where empathy, understanding, and collective healing foster personal growth and coping strategies.
