Group Therapy By Dr. Christopher

 

We all understand the importance of friends and family in life. They can offer support and be a close group creating memories, having fun, and reminiscing about the good old days. Of course,  you can also share your sorrow and pain with good friends and family. 

Sharing your thoughts and feelings with someone you trust makes you feel less alone and isolated. You get a sense of comfort and security that you crave. Similarly, group therapy is therapy where you can share your feelings and thoughts with people who are dealing with the same stress and problems in life.

Group therapy is when one or more therapists provide therapies to a small group of people at the same time. It helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, social anxiety, public speaking, and panic disorder. 

Are you one of those people dealing with such problems or simply seeking personal growth? No worries, we are here to help you with group therapy services to achieve your mental health goals. Dr. Christopher Joaquim provides a wide range of therapies, allowing you to choose the one that suits you most.

What is Group Therapy?

In group therapy, patients meet with other patients and a qualified therapist to talk about their emotions, ideas, thoughts, struggles, aspirations, and actions. This cooperative environment promotes mutual support, a diversity of viewpoints, and a feeling of community. Our groups are intended to cover a range of topics, such as relationship concerns, emotional difficulties, grief, career development, athlete stressors, creativity, and personal growth.

Dr. Christopher Joaquim is here to help you with your issues in a cooperative environment and  is here to offer mental health support – not just for you, but for all the group members. We create a group in such a way that a person can easily describe their problems and strategize diverse solutions.
