What is Group Therapy?
Group Therapy at HCCS brings together small groups of individuals facing similar mental health challenges, such as depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, or trauma. Led by our bilingual and bicultural therapists, these sessions create a safe space for participants to share their stories, learn coping strategies, and build a sense of belonging. Our groups are designed with cultural competence in mind, incorporating Hispanic values like personalismo (personal connection) and comunidad (community) to ensure a relatable and meaningful experience.
Sessions may focus on specific themes, such as stress management, addiction recovery, or interpersonal skills, using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and peer support models.
Benefits of Group Therapy
- Community Support: Connect with others who understand your challenges, reducing feelings of isolation and fostering hope.
- Cultural Relevance: Participate in sessions that honor Hispanic cultural traditions and values, making therapy more accessible and impactful.
- Skill Development: Learn practical tools and strategies for managing mental health challenges in a collaborative setting.
- Cost-Effective Care: Access high-quality therapy in a group format that is often more affordable than individual sessions.
