Psychotherapy Groups
We offer several group psychotherapy options in the evening. Patients can choose to attend groups as a stand-alone group or mix and match groups depending on their particular treatment needs. Some groups are structured and focus on psychoeducation, building skills, or discussing specific topics of interest. Other groups are free-flowing and focus more on building relationship and communications skills.
