    What is Group Therapy?

    Group Therapy is a form of counseling in which a group of participants meet with a therapist to address a common set of goals. Young people can especially benefit from counseling in a group setting because it helps them to realize that many of the feelings and things they’re experiencing are normal and they aren’t alone.  

    At Idaho Youth Ranch, we offer groups to help kids, teenagers, and even parents address a variety of goals, like: 

    • Addressing trauma

    • Overcoming anxiety

    • Building social skills

    • Learning to be more present

    • Changing negative thought or behavior patterns

    • Learning new parenting skills

    • Forming healthy relationships
