Group Psychotherapy Services in Virginia and Washington D.C.

Group psychotherapy, also known as group therapy, is a type of treatment that involves a group of people typically experiencing similar challenges. We offer both long-term and short-term psychotherapy groups. Our psychotherapy groups pay attention to the wide array of interpersonal difficulties between education, coping skills, peer support, a sense of community, and others. Peaceful Mind Solutions offer specialty groups for adults peoples, adolescents, and college students.

A group is led by a licensed psychotherapist (sometimes two psychotherapists), who will create and reinforce the group rules and structure and guide group sessions. The group operates according to basic rules and structure. For example, “do not interrupt other group members” or “don’t discuss group content with people outside of the group” would be examples of group rules.

Group therapy depends a lot on the specific mental health condition. There are different types of group therapy, some of which include: Cognitive behavioral groups, Interpersonal groups, Psychoeducational groups, Skills development groups, Support groups, etc. Group therapy is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, Depression, Eating disorders, Generalized anxiety disorder, Panic disorder, Phobias, Post-traumatic stress disorder, and Substance use disorder.
