At Kokoro Wellness, we believe in the transformative power of connection and shared experience. Group therapy offers a unique opportunity for individuals to come together in a supportive environment, guided by a skilled EMDR therapist, to explore challenges, share insights, and grow collectively.

What is Group Therapy?

Group therapy is a form of therapy where multiple individuals meet regularly to discuss their experiences and emotions under the guidance of a licensed therapist. Our groups typically consist of 6-7 members who may be facing similar challenges, such as anxiety, trauma, grief, or life transitions. These sessions provide a safe and confidential space to explore feelings, gain new perspectives, and learn from one another.

How Does Group Therapy Work?

Led by myself as an EMDR certified therapist, the group will meet for a series of sessions, with each meeting structured around open conversations or specific therapeutic goals. I will ensure that the environment remains respectful and focused on positive progress. Participants are encouraged to share at their own pace, while listening to others' experiences can often provide a sense of solidarity and insight.

The Benefits of Group Therapy

Group therapy offers many unique benefits, including:

1. Shared Experience: One of the most profound aspects of group therapy is the realization that you are not alone. Hearing others speak about similar struggles helps reduce feelings of isolation and increases a sense of belonging.

2. Diverse Perspectives: Each member brings a unique perspective, offering different ways to understand and cope with common issues. This variety of viewpoints can help you see your situation in a new light.

3. Supportive Environment: Group members often form deep, supportive relationships that last beyond therapy. In this space, you’ll find encouragement and accountability that can fuel your growth.

4. Learning and Growth: Group therapy can teach you new strategies for managing difficult emotions, communicating effectively, and improving relationships. You’ll not only benefit from professional guidance but also from the lived experiences of others.

5. Boosted Self-Awareness: As you share and listen to others, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your own behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. Group therapy provides feedback in real time, helping you recognize patterns and make positive changes.

Is Group Therapy Right for You?
