GROUP THERAPY AND SUPPORT GROUPS

GROUP THERAPY AND SUPPORT GROUPS

Hope within a Group

We naturally and intuitively want to interact and connect with others, to experience the security that comes from the caring of others. Participation in a group often provides the additional benefit of seeing things from another’s perspective, as well as providing a sense that one is not alone in their experience, as previously believed. There are many benefits in being a part of a supportive community.

Our Approach to Help and Healing

At points during the year, Covenant Counseling offers several different opportunities to be a part of a group. These experiences provide individuals with on opportunity to know others who have similar experiences, affording a unique opportunity for growth and understanding.

We have several current and forthcoming groups that focus on particular areas, including codependency and surviving sexual abuse (separate groups for women and men). We also have groups for couples affected by sexual addiction, as well as for women recovering from compulsive sexual behaviors. We have occasional groups which focus on divorce recovery, anger management, and sexual addiction for men.

If you are interested in learning more about groups in any of these areas, if you have any questions, or to inquire about the availability of a particular group, please call our office at 205-879-7500. You may also ask your counselor about a particular group’s availability. To make an appointment with one of our counselors, please call 205-879-7500.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A first session typically begins by meeting the counselor and going over a few aspects related to confidentiality. The counselor will want to know what brings you to the office and may try to gain a better sense of your context. Depending on the situation, you may begin to develop initial hopes or goals for your time together, to provide greater clarity on the focus of your counseling. Hopefully, you will be helped – even in your first session.

Our counselors work to provide a supportive and caring environment. Issues or dynamics can then be explored and addressed towards facilitating the needed or desired change.
