Los Angeles County Support Groups and Group Therapy
Group therapy takes many forms. The groups are variously referred to (often interchangeably) as Los Angeles County counseling groups, Los Angeles County support groups, Los Angeles County mutual support groups or peer support groups, self help groups, stress coping groups, workshops and mental health groups. They are moderated by a professional group counselor, group therapist or group psychologist and generally focus on a specific issue or client profile (e.g. men or women etc).
Before joining a Los Angeles County support group, first see if the group's issue focus is consistent with your needs. If there are no groups offering support around your issue, feel free to contact these professionals in Los Angeles County to ask for a referral to alternative groups nearby.
