Group Psychotherapy

Group Psychotherapists Rosedale Toronto

Group psychotherapy offers distinct advantages over individual sessions. It can be a great alternative to individual therapy or in addition to it. At Headway Mental Health, I believe in the healing power of connection. Group therapy provides a safe and supportive space where people can work through challenges while forming meaningful bonds with others who understand. My group psychotherapy services are designed to provide a safe, inclusive, and empathetic space for healing and growth. It creates a shared space where participants can:
  • Realize that they are not alone in your struggles and connect with others who understand.
  • Gain diverse perspectives and learn varied coping strategies, ultimately enriching their understanding and self-awareness.
  • Develop social skills that are particularly beneficial for conditions like social performance, or observational anxiety.

Healing Together, Growing Stronger

I currently offer three specialized group therapy options, and each address unique needs:
