GROUP THERAPY AT THE COUNSELING CENTER
The Baylor Counseling Center knows that many of the issues that College Students experience, group therapy is just as effective as individual therapy. In actuality it can be even better, because in group you experience a safe supportive experience with your peers who have similar issues, which leads to validation of your experience and a realization that you are not alone.
What is neat about group is that you can come at the same time every week for the semester or academic year.
