Who Is a Candidate for Individual and Group Therapies?
Ideal candidates for individual therapy generally include those seeking a personalized approach to address specific mental health needs, life challenges, or emotional struggles. These candidates often benefit from focused, one-on-one support and exploring their unique experiences and perspectives. Candidates for group therapy typically include individuals open to gaining insights through shared experiences, such as those dealing with substance use, grief, or behavioral challenges.
What Can I Expect From Individual and Group Therapies?
Revolutionized by Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis, psychotherapy or talk therapy explores how one thinks and feels. By speaking through situations, behaviors, and emotions, patients, under the supervision of a certified therapist, can change how they react to or cope with problems and focus on their well-being. Our therapists may employ a wide array of coping strategies and techniques to help patients modify how they think or emotionally react to significant situations. Research shows that group therapy particularly helps people with substance abuse issues, depression, and anxiety, among other mental health disorders. Groups are set up according to the type of therapy needed, such as:
- Educational: Individuals discuss related behaviors and consequences of mental health and substance abuse.
- Skills development: These groups focus on ways to abstain from drugs or alcohol.
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy: Therapists help identify the behaviors that contribute to abusing drugs or alcohol and direct attention to relapse prevention.
- Support groups: Fellow patients provide care and support for each other through communication and solving problems in a group setting.
- Interpersonal groups: These sessions consider emotional development and childhood concerns that may lead to poor decisions and impulsive actions.
Individual therapy sessions may provide a number of benefits, such as confidentiality, personal attention, and intense analysis and treatment. Group therapy sessions provide a therapeutic alliance among patients who collaboratively give and receive support, communicate emotions, and socialize in an empathetic atmosphere where they don’t have to feel isolated in their problems.
