GROUP THERAPY
Group Therapy
Group therapy can seem intimidating. That's why here at Lovewell, we make the process as personalized and streamlined as possible. Group counseling is a great way to catalyze your therapy process, hear different perspectives, experience a deeper sense of community, support, and accountability, and learn about yourself, others, and your relationships.
Research has shown that group therapy online is effective in changing people's perceptions of themselves in relationship, shifting behavior patterns, decreasing emotional avoidance, and improving communication. At Lovewell, our skilled clinicians do this through a blend of evidence-based techniques, processing, coaching, and therapeutic interventions during our group therapy sessions.
