Therapeutic Groups

Free therapeutic groups are available to those who cannot afford standard rates. Group therapy holds immense importance as it provides a unique and valuable environment for individuals to connect, share, and heal collaboratively. Groups foster a sense of community, understanding, and support that transcends the boundaries of individual counselling sessions.

In a group setting, individuals not only gain diverse perspectives but also realize they are not alone in their struggles, promoting empathy, shared coping strategies, and a collective journey towards healing and personal growth.

We offer FREE therapeutic groups as an option for individuals who are not able to afford standard rates. If you know someone who can benefit from a therapeutic group environment. please share this page.
