Here at Wholesome Healing, we offer groups on a seasonal basis. Each season we will have a group line up with a variety of offerings. See our flyers below for more information on the current season. 

 

Groups offer a unique setting in which clients can work on themselves, in relation with others. Research consistently shows that group therapy can be an effective approach for most concerns, and some research even shows that group therapy combined with individual therapy is the most effective way to address concerns.​​

​

We find that group therapy can be helpful in many ways, including: 

​​

• Providing an opportunity for clients to generalize skills gained in individual therapy.

• Offering clients a place to work on more specific skills (i.e. transitions, social skills, anxiety).

• Allowing for more comprehensive assessment of problems, by allowing therapists to see how clients function with others. 

• Giving clients the opportunity to feel connected to others in meaningful and satisfying ways - clients can develop close relationships with others who have similar interests or who have faced similar challenges. 

• Exposing clients to a variety of stress reduction methods - in groups we utilize a variety of approaches, including art, nature, movement, and sensory play - this variety of experiences allows clients to experiment with and find what is most effective for them in reducing stress. 

• More targeted development of coping strategies - group therapy can offer more direct work on coping skills, allowing clients a place to learn how to respond to triggers in a healthy way. Clients walk away with concrete skills that they can start implementing right away. 

​

Group therapy may be helpful for those who:

​

• Feel frustrated with others often

• Want to feel that they are not alone

• Want to build connections with others

• Feel different from others often

• Want to feel more confident in relationships with others

• Feel stuck in individual therapy

• Want support from others going through similar struggles

• Sometimes have trouble creating and maintaining relationships
