Overview:

Group therapy is one of the most-utilized treatment modalities in behavioral healthcare. Years of research support the efficacy of group therapy in treating many presenting issues including mood disorders and anxiety, medical and health concerns, personality disorders, addictions and many more. Increasingly, group therapy is being recognized as a specialized form of treatment that requires a specific set of knowledge and skills. Outstanding individual therapy skills don’t always translate directly to group therapy. Learning a few essential evidence-based principles can help you go from outstanding clinician to outstanding group therapist.

Imagine yourself leading a dynamic and effective therapy group for your clients. With your command of the evidence based principles and interventions that make groups work, you’ll facilitate your client’s work in new ways. Thriving groups can energize your clinical work. Clients who might have struggled to break through in individual therapy will respond so well to an interpersonally rich group experience. You’ll facilitate change in dynamic ways that enliven your overall work and guide your clients toward their goals.

Consider yourself bringing clients together for a life-changing experience. You’ll be energized by the interpersonal power of group. Your clients will learn from each other and support each other in their growth. You’ll serve more clients in a similar amount of time and enhance your own professional satisfaction and income in the process. Group therapy works for both clinicians and clients!

  • Discuss Group Therapy as a specialized treatment approach
