The Differences Between Individual and Group Treatment
Individual therapy is a one-on-one session between a patient and a therapist. It can provide a safe and confidential space for individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings in depth. Group therapy, on the other hand, involves a small group of individuals who meet regularly to discuss their experiences and support each other. While individual therapy focuses on individual needs, goals, and progress, group therapy emphasizes the importance of social support, feedback, and learning from others.
Why a Group Therapy Program Works for Mental Health
Group therapy has been shown to be effective in treating a range of mental health conditions, from depression and anxiety to trauma. The benefits of group therapy include:
- Building social support networks – Group therapy provides a sense of community and belongingness, which can mitigate feelings of isolation and disconnection.
- Encouraging open communication – Groups meet in a structured space to share thoughts and feelings with others who understand and empathize.
- Providing a range of perspectives – Groups expose individuals to diverse perspectives and experiences, which can broaden their understanding and offer new insights.
- Fostering accountability and motivation – Group therapy offers opportunities for feedback, goal setting, and encouragement from peers, which can increase motivation and accountability.
Rockland Recovery Behavioral Health uses a group-only approach to mental health therapy. By focusing on supportive communication and peer connections, our program can help individuals develop the skills they need to manage their mental health and thrive in their everyday lives.
Our Group-Only Approach to Therapy
We believe that our unique approach provides a supportive and collaborative environment for individuals to work toward their goals and build lasting social connections.
Gender-Specific Groups
Gender-specific group therapy sessions to create a safe and inclusive space for all individuals. Our therapists lead groups that are tailored to the unique needs and experiences of men and women. We believe that gender-specific group therapy can provide a space to explore personal challenges and experiences in a supportive and empathetic setting.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Many individuals with mental health issues have experienced trauma. That’s why our group therapy sessions are trauma-informed, meaning that we prioritize the safety, empowerment, and healing of individuals who have experienced trauma. Our therapists create a compassionate and non-judgmental space for individuals to share their experiences, process their emotions, and develop healthy coping strategies.
Evidence-Based Methods
Our group therapy sessions are based on evidence-based methods, meaning that we use approaches that have been scientifically proven to be effective. We incorporate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills, and other approaches into our group sessions. Our goal is to provide individuals with the tools and skills they need to manage their mental health symptoms and achieve their goals.
