Group Therapy at My Teen Mental Health
Helping Teens With Group Therapy
Group counseling can yield great results while also allowing an adolescent to socialize with their peers and continue their growth and development. At My Teen Mental Health, we are ready to help our young patients navigate their mental health issues, including severe mental disorders, in the way that suits them. Contact us without delay – let us schedule the first group therapy session for your teenager and give them much-needed emotional support.
What Is Group Therapy?
Group Therapy means a therapist works with more than one person at the same time – there can be two, three, or many more people in the same room receiving mental health treatment. This group of individuals meets regularly, usually at the same time every week, to discuss their issues. Therapists try to offer their patients a chance to talk about their experiences and therapy goals with people who understand what they are going through – for instance, there is group therapy for addiction designed specifically for individuals struggling with substance abuse.
Group Therapy Benefits
If you are considering various types of therapy for your adolescent child, here are a few advantages of group counseling you should take into account:
A young person can be labelled selfish and self-centered if they fail to show others they care about their words - group counseling services will let them master the art of active listening.
No matter the mental health challenge a teenager is dealing with, there is always someone out there with the same or at the very least, similar problems.
Unfortunately, isolation and alienation from others is a common result of mental struggles. With the help of therapy groups, teens have a chance to feel the joy of friendship again.
A teenager can be awkward and anti-social even if their life is not burdened by a mental health disorder. By participating in support groups, they will be able to communicate with their peers and express their feelings.
Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach
Below you can see just a few group therapy activities the teenager will be involved in when their treatment begins:
Getting to Know Each Other
Adolescents will introduce themselves and share their experiences briefly before the real work begins.
Asking Questions
To focus on a specific patient - especially a newcomer - other teens will be encouraged to ask them questions about their life.
Role-Playing
Young people can practice various responses and actions in a safe atmosphere, pretending the imaginary situations are real or reenacting scenes from their past.
Creating New Things
Working together on the same project - it can be a painting or a short story - will show adolescents how to interact with others properly.
Visualizing the Future
Planning is a crucial part of any treatment, and teens will have an opportunity to share their short- and long-term dreams and aspirations.
Sharing Progress
As group therapy sessions go on, teenagers will gain confidence and tranquility - they will be welcome to share positive news with their peers and reflect on the treatment.
