It is typical to meet with your counselor one-on-one before you meet the group, which will provide you an opportunity to discuss what you hope to get out of the group therapy. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions you might have and express any concerns.
Group counseling employs a variety of techniques, depending on the group’s focus area of the group. Group counseling is ultimately centered on the clientand has a high degree of flexibility, depending on the group’s needs. The group will typically meet with the counselor in a private room, seated in a circle to promote good communication.
Most groups at Irvine Christian Counseling meet once each week for 1-2 hours. Some groups will continue for longer periods, while others meet for a specified period.
