What is Psychotherapy? Psychotherapy, is a way to help people with a broad variety of mental illnesses and emotional difficulties. Psychotherapy can help eliminate or control troubling symptoms so a person can function better and can increase well-being and healing.

Problems helped by psychotherapy include difficulties in coping with daily life; the impact of trauma, medical illness or loss, like the death of a loved one; and specific mental disorders, like depression or anxiety. There are several different types of psychotherapy and some types may work better with certain problems or issues.

What does a Therapy Session Look Like? Therapy may be conducted in an individual, family, couple, or group setting, and can help both children and adults. Sessions are typically held once a week for about 53-60 minutes. Both clients and therapists need to be actively involved in psychotherapy. The trust and relationship between a person and his/her therapist is essential to working together effectively and benefiting from psychotherapy.

What is Group Therapy?

Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves one or more therapists working with several people at the same time.

Groups can be as small as three or four, but group therapy can 8 to 12 people, depending on the type of group. The group typically meets once or twice each week, or more, for an hour or two.

Types of Therapy groups could include the the following:

Cognitive Behavioral Groups: Focus on identifying and changing inaccurate or distorted thinking patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors.

Interpersonal Groups: Focus on interpersonal relationships and social interactions, including how much support you have from others and the impact these relationships have on mental health.

Psychoeducational Groups: Focus on educating clients about their disorders and ways of coping; often based on the principles of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT).
