Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy where a trained therapist leads a session with a small group of individuals who are facing similar mental health challenges or concerns. It provides a supportive and safe environment for group members to share their experiences, emotions, and thoughts.

Group therapy can be effective for various mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and interpersonal relationship difficulties.
