What Happens In Group Therapy?
In the groups we facilitate, participants gather to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in an open, supportive environment. The group focuses on topics often relevant to men, such as emotional expression, relationship challenges, identity, and vulnerability. Members are encouraged to share experiences, give and receive honest feedback, and reflect on how they interact with others.
Is Group Therapy an Effective Form of Therapy?
Yes, group therapy can be highly effective. It provides a supportive environment where individuals connect with others facing similar challenges, reducing isolation and fostering growth. Group members benefit from shared experiences, diverse perspectives, and real-time feedback while developing interpersonal and coping skills. Additionally, group therapy is often more affordable than individual therapy, making it an accessible option for many.
About Dr. Yedidya (Didi) Levy
I specialize in providing individual and group psychotherapy for adult men in NYC and on zoom
For nearly a decade, I've worked on developing expertise and honing my craft as clinician specialized in men's issues. Men tend to have a unique experience of the world and a complex relationship with mental health. As a licensed psychologist trained in various modalities of psychotherapy, I've repeatedly witnessed the transformative power of insight, and the therapeutic relationship, even when it feels all hope is lost.
My experience is broad and deep. I am the assistant director of the college counseling center at Yeshiva University, and have worked extensively with adult men of all ages, and from all walks of life. I believe psychotherapy is a bespoke process, one in which the care and roadmap to change is highly individualized.
Through this exploration, we'll identify the patterns contributing to your current distress. We will develop insight into the ways these patterns are maintained, and we will effectively intervene to create lasting change.
Reach out for a consultation today to begin the process of living a freer and lighter existence.
