Group Therapy
BrainLab Ottawa is proud to offer group therapy sessions, a supportive and therapeutic environment where small groups of individuals come together to navigate similar life challenges. Group therapy is an effective treatment modality for those dealing with issues such as anxiety, substance abuse, grief, LGBTQIA+ issues, chronic pain, or anger management.
In these sessions, participants have the opportunity to share experiences, offer mutual support, and learn from each other under the guidance of a trained clinician. The group setting provides a unique dynamic that fosters personal growth, self-awareness, and the development of social skills.
Sessions are conducted in a confidential and safe space, ensuring a respectful and non-judgmental environment. Our therapists are skilled in facilitating group discussions and tailoring the therapy to the group’s needs. These sessions are offered in a virtual setting via our secure telehealth platform.
If you’re interested in joining our group therapy sessions, please reach out to us for more information or to schedule a preliminary assessment. Together, we can take steps towards healing and empowerment.
