Therapy groups at Life Balance Counseling are a mix of processing life events, giving & receiving support, honestly expressing one’s thoughts and emotions, sharing one’s story, holding one another accountable, learning how to be emotionally intimate with one another, role-playing to teach interpersonal skills, empathy development, and more. From week to week the format may differ.

There are many differences between group and individual therapy. The process of group therapy helps participants develop insights into their own issues and great self-awareness as they listen to others who have similar problems. “Seeing themselves in the mirror” is often a life-changing shift in perspective. Group engages members to open up in different ways, as the dynamics bring out things that simply would not occur in individual therapy.

Because of Covid, and to maintain social distancing, Life Balance Counseling therapy groups are currently being offered in a hybrid format. That means that some people attend In-Person and some people, due to a variety of reasons, participate in those same groups through a HIPAA compliant platform Zoom.

Call us (309) 676-0538 and ask to speak with a therapist about your group options. You will work collaboratively with the therapist to explore what group would be the best fit for you. Next, you would schedule a group screening appointment (approximately 30 minutes) where you can speak with the group therapist, ask any questions or address any concerns, and make sure you and the group are a good fit for one another.
