Group therapy sessions are typically held once a week, with each session lasting about one hour. These sessions are part of a structured program that usually runs for a set number of weeks, typically spanning 8 to 12 weeks.

The consistent schedule of weekly sessions over several weeks helps foster a sense of community and trust among group members. It also provides a supportive environment where individuals can explore their feelings and experiences at a comfortable pace.

Group therapy can help with a wide range of challenges that people face at different stages of life. Here are some common issues that group therapy can address for adult clients:

Feeling Stressed or Anxious

Dealing with Sadness or Depression

Struggling with Self-Esteem

Coping with Grief or Loss

Group therapy is flexible and can be personalized to meet individual needs, no matter your age or background. Joining a group allows you to connect with others who've been through similar experiences, creating an environment where everyone can grow and heal together.

Joining a group therapy session is a straightforward process. Here's what you can expect:

1. Book an Introductory Call: Start by reaching out via email (victoria@in-balancepsych.com) or click here to schedule a 15 minute intro call. This call helps us get to know each other and determine if group therapy is the right fit for your needs.

2. Introductory Call: During the introductory call, we'll discuss your goals, concerns, and any questions you have about group therapy. This conversation helps us ensure that the group aligns with your needs and preferences.

3. Complete Paperwork and Schedule an Intake Session: After the introductory call, if you decide to proceed, we'll complete any necessary paperwork and schedule a 45-minute intake session. This intake session, held 1-2 weeks before the group starts, allows us to gather more information about you and ensure that the group is a good match!

4. Attend the First Group Session: Finally! You'll attend the first group therapy session! This is where you'll meet the other group members and begin your therapeutic journey in a supportive and collaborative environment.
