Group Therapy 

Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy in which a small group of individuals (usually 5–12 people) meet regularly with one or more trained mental health counselors to talk about their issues, gain insight, and support each other. It provides a safe, structured environment where people with similar concerns can share experiences, learn from others, and practice new coping skills.

Group therapy can be standalone or used in combination with individual therapy.
