Why Choose Group Therapy?

Connection and Community: Group counseling provides a valuable opportunity to connect with others who are navigating similar challenges or life circumstances. Being part of a supportive community can alleviate feelings of isolation and create a sense of belonging, fostering a shared
journey of growth and healing.

Diverse Perspectives: Group counseling brings together individuals from various backgrounds, ages, and experiences. This diversity enriches the therapeutic process, allowing for a wide range of perspectives, insights, and shared wisdom. The collective support and understanding from
fellow group members can lead to profound personal insights and breakthroughs.

Empowerment through Shared Learning: In a group setting, you can learn from the experiences and coping strategies of others, gaining valuable insights and alternative perspectives. The shared wisdom and support within the group can empower you to develop new skills, enhance self-
awareness, and explore effective strategies for personal growth.

Enhanced Social Skills: Group counseling provides a unique opportunity to practice and refine social skills in a safe and supportive environment. Through active participation, effective communication, and receiving feedback from group members and the facilitator, you can cultivate stronger interpersonal skills that can positively impact your relationships beyond the group setting.

Cost-Effective: Group counseling offers a cost-effective alternative to individual therapy while still providing a high level of therapeutic support. Sharing the costs among group members makes therapy more accessible, allowing you to receive the benefits of professional guidance at a
more affordable rate.

FAQs - Group Counseling at RAFT Counseling

What types of groups are available at RAFT Counseling?

At RAFT Counseling, we offer a diverse range of group therapy options tailored to various needs and interests. Our groups cover topics such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss, self-esteem, and personal growth. Please contact us to learn more about the specific groups currently available.

How many participants are typically in a group counseling session?

Group sizes can vary depending on the specific group and its focus. Generally, our groups consist of 6 to 10 participants, allowing for a balanced and supportive dynamic. And sometimes we will start a group with only 2 or 3 participants from different families because we believe in a group and are excited to get it started!

Will I be required to share personal information in the group?

Sharing personal information in group counseling is voluntary. We create a safe and confidential space where you can choose to share at your own comfort level. Respect for boundaries and confidentiality are crucial values in our group therapy sessions. Group guidelines and the importance of maintaining confidentiality are reviewed with every group at RAFT Counseling. What is said in the group stays in the group!

How long do group counseling sessions last, and how often do they meet?

Group sessions typically last 90 minutes and meet weekly or bi-weekly, depending on the group. The duration and frequency will be specified for each group, ensuring consistency and continuity throughout the therapeutic process. They often run for a specified period of time, like 12 weeks,

and then end. We will then take a break to reset for clients and therapists. During that time our therapists are working hard to take the knowledge from the group and make it even better for the next round! Groups can be open or closed. If it is an open group, clients can join any time during the 12-week period as long as we have room for a new participant.

Can I join a group if I'm already seeing an individual therapist at RAFT Counseling?

Absolutely! Group counseling can be a powerful complement to individual therapy. Participating in both can provide unique benefits by combining the personalized support of individual therapy with the enriching experience of group dynamics.
