INDIVIDUAL THERAPY OR GROUP COUNSELING?

Individual therapy and group counseling offer two different approaches for dealing with your issues. Although both can be highly effective, they both have strengths and weaknesses. Before you choose between these two options, make sure to carefully weigh the pros and cons of each one.

Group therapy offers the advantage of learning from the life experiences of other people who are dealing with similar problems. By developing a relationship with a group of people, you can take advantage of the built-in support group. However, group counseling can be less effective in helping you with isolated problems.

With individual counseling, you lose the support group aspect of group therapy, but you gain the ability to work more closely with your counselor. Your individual counselor can develop a deeper understanding of your personal issues in order to better tailor your treatment and work through unique difficulties.
