Group Therapy in Atlanta

About Group Therapy

Group therapy involves a licensed therapist facilitating structured sessions with multiple participants who share similar concerns or goals. It is an evidence-based treatment modality used for a wide range of conditions including depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use disorders, and interpersonal difficulties. Groups typically meet weekly and range from 4 to 12 participants.

One of the core benefits of group therapy is the therapeutic value of peer connection — members gain perspective, reduce isolation, and practice interpersonal skills in a supportive setting. Groups may be process-oriented, focusing on interpersonal dynamics, or skills-based, teaching specific techniques from approaches like CBT or DBT. Group therapy is often offered alongside individual therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
