Group Therapy

In our group therapy sessions, participants sit in a circle and share their experiences, feelings, and concerns under the guidance of Dr. Yasmeen Alhasawi. Sessions typically include structured discussions, therapeutic exercises, and opportunities for feedback and support from other group members.

Our group therapy sessions typically include 6-8 participants. We keep our groups small to ensure everyone has the opportunity to participate and receive personalized attention while still benefiting from diverse perspectives.

Confidentiality is a fundamental rule in our group therapy sessions. All participants sign a confidentiality agreement, and our therapists emphasize the importance of privacy. While therapists are bound by professional ethics, we also ask all group members to respect each other's privacy by not sharing others' personal information outside the group.

We offer several specialized group therapy options including anxiety management groups, depression support groups, grief and loss groups, and interpersonal skills development. Each group is designed with specific therapeutic goals and approaches tailored to the participants' needs.

Our group therapy sessions typically last 90 minutes, which provides enough time for check-ins, focused discussion, therapeutic activities, and closing reflections. This duration has proven optimal for meaningful engagement without causing fatigue.

While active participation is encouraged, we understand that everyone moves at their own pace. New members often feel more comfortable listening at first. Our therapists create a supportive environment where you can share when you're ready, and there's no pressure to speak until you feel comfortable doing so.

Group therapy is particularly beneficial for those who want to improve interpersonal skills, gain different perspectives, or feel less alone in their struggles. We offer a free 15-minute consultation with Dr. Yasmeen Alhasawi to discuss your specific situation and determine if group therapy would be beneficial for your needs.
