Individual Therapy
Individuals who are in group therapy will also receive individual therapy with an LADC. Individual therapy is beneficial for treatment planning and being able to work on core issues that are not appropriate or comfortable in a group setting.
Group Therapy
Group therapy consists of being with peers that share many of the same struggles. During group therapy, clients share the objectives they have completed and receive feedback from the counselor and other group members. Everyone is counseled as an individual in a group. Group therapy is beneficial for a variety of factors: instillation of hope, universality, gaining knowledge through others experience, and having a sense of belonging, to name a few.
