Group therapy is one of the best kept secrets in the mental health field! It gives you the opportunity to get support and encouragement from a group of people who are working on issues similar to those you are working on. It's also one of the best ways to work on relational issues, because the group itself becomes a microcosm of the real world. You'll get open and honest feedback from your peers and have the opportunity to practice new ways of relating to other people. It's also less expensive and lasts 30 minutes longer than individual counseling, so you get a lot more bang for your buck, too! You can read more about group therapy here.
