Understanding group therapy
What Is Group Therapy?
Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy in which a trained therapist leads regular sessions with a small group of people working on similar concerns. Unlike an informal support group, group psychotherapy is structured: the therapist sets goals and guidelines, guides discussion and teaches skills. At PSG in Muncie, groups combine professional guidance with shared experience.

Is group therapy right for you?
Who Can Benefit From Group Therapy?
Group therapy for adults, young adults, and college students can help when you want professional support and connection at the same time. A mental health therapy group may suit you if you:
✔️Want to feel less alone with what you’re facing
✔️Want to build communication, coping, or relationship skills
✔️Are working through a shared challenge or life transition
✔️Learn well from hearing how others handle similar experiences
✔️Support a first responder and want to connect with other families
Group therapy isn’t right for everyone. If you need more one-on-one attention, individual psychotherapy may be a better start, or the two can be combined.
