Group Therapy at Atwater Village Therapy
At Atwater Village Therapy, we offer a variety of online group therapy options to meet the diverse needs of our community. Group therapy provides a unique opportunity for growth and healing, allowing participants to share experiences, offer support, and learn from others in a structured, therapeutic setting. Our group sessions are designed to foster connections, enhance understanding, and equip participants with effective strategies to navigate life's challenges.
Interpersonal Process Group
Our Interpersonal Process Group is an opportunity for individuals to explore personal and relational patterns in a safe and supportive environment. This group focuses on the here-and-now interactions among group members, providing a real-time space to practice new behaviors, explore personal dynamics, and receive feedback.
Key benefits include:
Enhanced Self-Awareness: Gain insights into your own behaviors and how they affect others, leading to greater self-understanding.
Improved Relationship Skills: Learn and practice new ways of communicating and connecting with others.
Supportive Environment: Experience a sense of belonging and support from peers who understand and share similar struggles.
This group is ideal for those looking to deepen their understanding of themselves in relation to others and who are willing to engage openly in a group setting.
DBT Group
Our DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) Group is structured to teach participants the core skills of DBT: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. This group is particularly helpful for individuals dealing with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or self-destructive behaviors.
Key benefits include:
Skill Acquisition: Learn practical skills to manage stress, control emotions, and improve relationships.
Peer Learning: Benefit from the shared experiences and strategies of group members facing similar issues.
Structured Approach: Engage in a curriculum-based setting that provides clear guidance and measurable progress.
The DBT group is suited for anyone seeking to develop coping strategies and emotional skills in a supportive, educational format.
Why Choose Group Therapy?
Group therapy offers several advantages:
Diverse Perspectives: Engaging with a group allows you to see different viewpoints and learn varied strategies for handling similar issues.
Built-In Support System: Group settings provide a network of support that can enhance personal growth and provide comfort during difficult times.
Cost-Effective: Group therapy is often more affordable than individual therapy, making it accessible to more people.
