Adult Group Therapy

Group psychotherapy is a useful treatment for teenagers with mental health issues.  Group work can be a protective factor for adolescents and their families. Group therapy has shown to be as effective as individual psychotherapy and medication treatment for social anxiety.

I have been providing group therapy to my patients ranging in age from 14-79 years old for more than a decade. I am a firm believer in the healing power of groups: these can focus on many themes, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction recovery for patients and their families. Such groups have been highly valued by my patients and have played a significant role in their healing process. My groups typically consist of adolescents of similar ages (15-19) but with different personalities which enriches the session communications. 

Is Group Therapy Right for You?

There are so many excellent reasons clients enter into and thrive as a result of group therapy. These are just a few:

  • Dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, bad habits, and school stressors. 
  • Wishing to repair distressed or disrupted relationships with friends, families, and partners
  • Seeking a positive/warm/supportive environment to share your experience confidentially, and learn how to improve your relationships
  • Curious about developing new insights about interpersonal challenges
  • Missing a deeply connected group of learned friends to share with, and learn from
  • Find out how others like you react to psychiatric medications, diagnosis,  labels, and stigma
  • Ready to move forward with a new beginning

What Our Patients Are Saying about Group Therapy:
“Dr. Sid’s groups were life saving for me during COVID. I felt understood, supported, and normal among other patients with mental illnesses.” 

“The group experience that Dr. Sid provides was great.  Being around people, the sense of camaraderie, talking, and sharing made me feel much better within a month.” 

 “I used to be angry and aggressive at times.  Dr. Sid helped me to be calmer. My soccer partner says that I have become a different person.” 

“Dr. Siahpush has continued to treat me with empathy, optimism, and kindness.” 

“I felt that it was a sign of weakness to talk about feelings. So I bottled up. But in groups, I developed a lot of understanding, and found caring people. I realized that a lot of people have felt the same way. I look forward to each group.”
