Group Counseling

Oasis Counseling Services is pleased to offer a confidential online DBT Group facilitated by Leasha Strang, LSCSW in January and September. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is a 12-week evidence-based therapeutic group for individuals who are seeking skills to effectively manage stress, regulate emotions, and communicate well with others.

There are several advantages of group therapy.

Support, Safety, and Encouragement

Group therapy allows people to receive the support and encouragement of the other members of the group. People participating in the group can see that others are going through the same thing, which can help them feel less alone. The setting allows people to practice behaviors and actions within the safety and security of the group.

Role Modeling

Group members can serve as role models for other members of the group. By observing someone successfully coping with a problem, other members of the group can see that there is hope for recovery. As each person progresses, they can, in turn, serve as a role model and support figure for others. This can help foster feelings of success and accomplishment.

Insight on Social Skills

By working with a group, the therapist can see first-hand how each person responds to other people and behaves in social situations. Using this information, the therapist can provide valuable feedback to each client.

Affordability

Group therapy is often very affordable. Instead of focusing on just one client at a time, the therapist can devote their time to a much larger group of people, which reduces the cost for participants.

While costs vary depending on a variety of factors, estimates suggest that group therapy costs, on average, one-half to one-third less than individual therapy.

Is Group Therapy for You?

If you or someone you love is thinking about group therapy, there are several things you should consider.

You Need to Be Willing to Share

Especially if you struggle with social anxiety or phobias, sharing in a group might not be right for you. In addition, some types of group therapy involve exercises like role-playing and intensely personal discussion, which can be overwhelming for people who are extremely private or uncomfortable around strangers.

To reserve a spot in the group or for more information call (785) 833-5471.
