Group Therapy is a Great Way to Participate in Therapy
In groups you can connect with others, learn from their experiences, and address your own challenges. Research shows that group therapy is just as good as individual therapy in many ways. Also, group therapy is cost effective and allows you to stretch your therapy dollars further. Qualia’s therapy groups are affordable and many of them are “pay what you can.”
Qualia’s groups are researched and developed by our most experienced and knowledgeable clinicians and facilitated by compassionate and skilled leaders.
