Group therapy
Therapist-led sessions with patients sharing similar concerns, using shared experience and peer feedback as a complement to individual therapy.
What it is & how it works
Therapist-led sessions conducted with multiple patients sharing similar concerns, using shared experience, peer feedback, and structured discussion as a therapeutic mechanism distinct from and complementary to individual therapy.
How it's done
Typically administered as weekly 60–90 minute sessions with a small, consistent group of patients, run over a defined number of weeks or as an ongoing open group, facilitated by a psychologist, psychiatrist, or trained group facilitator.
Conditions it treats
Why Brain Bridge
Used at Brain Bridge as a complement to, not a replacement for, individual care — consistent with the clinic's layered model where peer support and one-to-one therapy address different parts of recovery.
Evidence & safety
Adjunctive to individual treatment. Group composition and format are matched to presenting concern.
Related questions
Groups are usually led by one or more clinicians with roughly five to fifteen participants, kept small enough for meaningful discussion while still offering the benefit of peer perspective.
The therapist follows standard confidentiality rules, but group therapy can't guarantee the same level of privacy as individual therapy since other participants are also present; confidentiality ground rules are set out at the start of the group.
