Exploring the Benefits of Group Therapy for Children

Group therapy can help children and teenagers work through issues and feel understood. It can also help build skills to manage their emotions and behavior.

What Is Group Therapy?

It is a form of psychotherapy in which a group of people come together to work on issues or concerns. Counseling in a group setting can be used to treat a variety of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief. It can also help children and teens develop social skills, build self-esteem, and learn problem-solving skills.

Group therapy sessions typically last between one and two hours and involve up to 10 people. The group is led by a licensed therapist who facilitates discussions and helps keep the group focused. Therapy sessions are typically held at a specified time and location, such as a counseling center or therapist’s office.
