Group Psychotherapy

Group therapy improves mental health in teens by increasing social skills, social support and peer connection. Teenagers benefit from group therapy because it helps them see that they are not alone, and that their peers are grappling with similar challenges. Group can also serve as a great place for teens to gain insight about themselves, as they receive feedback from others. When a safe environment is provided, teens may be able to hear constructive criticism from their peers and begin applying this newfound knowledge into future interactions with others. Social isolation has become a significant health risk to adolescents as more and more youth spend time on smart phones and social media. When teens have adequate supportive relationships this often protects them from the negative effects of stress. IGP strives to create a safe environment where teens can experience a sense of belonging and connection with others.
