Groups and Workshops
What is group therapy, and when might I need it?
Your therapist may recommend group therapy alone or combined with individual therapy, depending on your needs. Group therapy can target many topics, including relationships, communications skills, grief and loss, and every type of psychiatric disorder.
What happens during group therapy?
Group therapy sessions are structured and led by one or more trained therapists and typically follow a specific therapeutic approach. Depending on the group, sessions may focus on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps participants identify and change distorted thinking patterns and the behaviors and emotions connected to them, or mentalization-based therapy, which strengthens emotional awareness, reflective thinking, and communication skills. Interpersonal groups emphasize exploring relationships and social interactions and how they affect mental health, while skills development groups focus on building practical abilities such as social skills, anger management, or conflict resolution. Psychoeducational groups provide information about mental health conditions, their causes, treatment options, and coping strategies, while support groups are designed to offer encouragement, shared experiences, and advice in a supportive environment.
What types of workshops are available?
Psychology Beverly Hills offers a variety of workshops designed to meet the needs of their patients and the broader community. These workshops are short, educational courses that focus on specific topics or skill development, such as stress management, academic or professional success, procrastination, mindfulness meditation, improving communication between teens and parents, and lifestyle approaches to supporting mental health.
