Group Therapy at Pacific Pain & Wellness Group involves our excellent psychologist and therapist who lead a group of two or more patients. Some people attend individual therapy in addition to groups, while others participate in groups only. Group Therapy is designed to collectively focus on a specific problem, such as depression, obesity, panic disorder, social anxiety, chronic pain or substance abuse. Other group therapy focus more generally on improving social skills, helping people deal with a range of issues such as anger, shyness, loneliness and low self-esteem.
