Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy during which one or more therapists treat a small (usually 10-12) group of clients together as a group. This is often more affordable than individual therapy, and for certain clients may be more effective.

Often, clients feel more supported in a group situation, because others in the group are dealing with very similar issues. A new group member is likely to feel welcomed and understood, which is often a great relief. Group therapy is also an ideal setting to 'test out' new behaviors in a safe environment, find encouragement from others, and hear constructive feedback from one's peers.
