Why Choose Group Therapy?
Connection and Community: Group counseling provides a valuable opportunity to connect with others who are navigating similar challenges or life circumstances. Being part of a supportive community can alleviate feelings of isolation and create a sense of belonging, fostering a shared
journey of growth and healing.
Diverse Perspectives: Group counseling brings together individuals from various backgrounds, ages, and experiences. This diversity enriches the therapeutic process, allowing for a wide range of perspectives, insights, and shared wisdom. The collective support and understanding from
fellow group members can lead to profound personal insights and breakthroughs.
Empowerment through Shared Learning: In a group setting, you can learn from the experiences and coping strategies of others, gaining valuable insights and alternative perspectives. The shared wisdom and support within the group can empower you to develop new skills, enhance self-
awareness, and explore effective strategies for personal growth.
Enhanced Social Skills: Group counseling provides a unique opportunity to practice and refine social skills in a safe and supportive environment. Through active participation, effective communication, and receiving feedback from group members and the facilitator, you can cultivate stronger interpersonal skills that can positively impact your relationships beyond the group setting.
Cost-Effective: Group counseling offers a cost-effective alternative to individual therapy while still providing a high level of therapeutic support. Sharing the costs among group members makes therapy more accessible, allowing you to receive the benefits of professional guidance at a
more affordable rate.
Unlock the potential of group counseling and embark on a remarkable journey of personal growth, healing, and connection. Our expertly facilitated groups provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your emotions, gain insights, and build meaningful relationships with others who share similar experiences.

FAQs - Group Counseling at RAFT Counseling
Group sizes can vary depending on the specific group and its focus. Generally, our groups consist of 6 to 10 participants, allowing for a balanced and supportive dynamic. And sometimes we will start a group with only 2 or 3 participants from different families because we believe in a group and are excited to get it started!
Sharing personal information in group counseling is voluntary. We create a safe and confidential space where you can choose to share at your own comfort level. Respect for boundaries and confidentiality are crucial values in our group therapy sessions. Group guidelines and the importance of maintaining confidentiality are reviewed with every group at RAFT Counseling. What is said in the group stays in the group!
Group sessions typically last 90 minutes and meet weekly, but this can vary depending on the group. The duration and frequency will be specified for each group, ensuring consistency and continuity throughout the therapeutic process. They often run for a specified period of time, such as 10 weeks or 12 weeks, followed by a break.
During a break, our therapists are working hard to take the knowledge from the group and make it even better for the next round! Groups can be open or closed. If it is an open group, clients can join any time as long as we have room for a new participant.
Absolutely! Group counseling can be a powerful complement to individual therapy. Participating in both can provide unique benefits by combining the personalized support of individual therapy with the enriching experience of group dynamics.
