WHAT IS GROUP THERAPY IN ORANGE COUNTY?
Group therapy is a form of therapy where a small group of individuals meets regularly to learn, practice, and interact with each other on a particular challenge or topic. It's a safe place where individuals can navigate a variety of emotional, physical, or mental issues under the guidance of a trained and experienced therapist. It's an alternative approach to traditional individual therapy where you can receive feedback from others and hear about other people's life experiences.
Our approach to Group Therapy in Orange County
Most people who consider therapy or support may only envision one-on-one counseling sessions. Typically, individuals associate "therapy" with learning and sharing thoughts and ideas with just one person. Group therapy, on the other hand, is a wonderful setting to feel incredibly supported in a way that differs from individual therapy.
Here at Ashley Hudson Therapy, we focus on providing a supportive and confidential space for individuals to gather and seek tools and feedback they wouldn't receive from countless self-help books, Facebook groups, or their own peer relationships. Many individuals feel that their friends aren't going through the same pains, challenges, and struggles they currently face, leading to a significant disconnect. Our group therapists in Orange County strive to help others feel connected and foster a sense of belonging during our group therapy meetings.
Our approach to group therapy in Orange County is empathetic, compassionate, connecting, and curious. We employ Cognitive Behavioral, Attachment, ACT, and strength-based approaches that offer scientifically proven strategies effective in reducing anxiety, depression, and enhancing relationship skills. While everyone's experience is different and unique, in group therapy, you have the opportunity to hear similarities in people's experiences and the various ways they handle their challenges.
In several instances, individuals might feel more comfortable attending group therapy over individual therapy as it serves as a nice segue into learning the therapeutic process and the benefits of therapy without participating in one-on-one sessions. Additionally, some individuals prefer to supplement their individual therapy services with group therapy to gain more opportunities to practice their newly learned skills with others and receive additional emotional support from those who understand them on a deeper level.
If you're ready to receive emotional support from people who understand exactly what you're going through,
contact our intake coordinator today to enroll.
