Group Therapy Calgary
Group therapy involves one or two therapists working with a select small group of clients. Groups are often designed to target specific problems such as anxiety, depression, or an eating disorder. Other groups focus on improving social skills or helping children cope with a range of challenges such as low-self esteem, emotional regulation, shyness, or a recent loss.
Group Therapy Involves Strategies to Change Thinking Patterns such as:
-
Research indicates that group therapy is very effective for children, particularly it indicates that adolescents benefit greatly from group therapy. There are many reasons why this is the case.
-
Through group therapy, adolescents can communicate in a way that normalizes these feelings and experiences. They are able to learn about themselves, the impact their behavior has on others, and are able to receive feedback from peers.
