General Questions

What is Social Therapy?

Social therapy is a group-based, collaborative approach to emotional growth and personal development. Unlike traditional therapies that focus primarily on the individual, social therapy emphasizes relationships, group interactions, and performance-based learning to help people navigate emotional and life challenges.

How is Social Therapy Different from Traditional Therapy?

Traditional therapy often focuses on diagnosing and treating individual issues. Social therapy, however, encourages group participation and collective meaning-making, helping people grow emotionally through shared experiences and interactions.

Who Can Benefit from Social Therapy?

Anyone looking to improve their emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, or navigate life’s challenges can benefit from social therapy. Our clients include individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, career transitions, and personal development goals.

Group Therapy Questions

What Happens in a Social Therapy Group?

In a social therapy group, participants engage in relationship building, open discussions, creative exercises, and collaborative problem-solving. The group environment provides a safe and supportive space where people develop new perspectives, experiment with new behaviors, and build deeper connections with others.

Do I Have to Share Personal Information in a Group?

While sharing personal experiences can be beneficial, there is no pressure to disclose anything you are uncomfortable with. Social therapy encourages participation at your own pace, allowing you to engage in ways that feel natural and productive.

How Many People Are in a Group?

Group sizes vary but typically range from 6 to 12 participants. This size allows for meaningful interactions and a supportive atmosphere while ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate.

How Long Do Social Therapy Groups Last?

Most groups meet once a week for 60 to 90 minutes, though durations may vary based on group structure and goals. Some groups run on an ongoing basis, while others may have a set number of sessions.

Relationship Coaching Questions

What Is Relationship Coaching?

Relationship coaching helps individuals and couples develop stronger communication skills, resolve conflicts, and build healthier connections. Unlike traditional couples therapy, relationship coaching is solution-focused and forward-thinking, providing practical tools to improve relationships.

Do You Offer Coaching for Individuals as Well as Couples?

Yes. Relationship coaching is available for both individuals seeking to improve their relationship skills and couples working to strengthen their connection.

Is Relationship Coaching Only for People with Relationship Problems?
