Benefits of group therapy
At the Centre de thérapie pour couples et familles de l'Outaouais, we understand that life's challenges can sometimes be heavy to bear alone. That's why we offer therapy and psychotherapy groups specially designed to provide collective support and guidance to people seeking to improve their emotional and relational well-being.
​
The importance and effectiveness of group therapy has been demonstrated time and again, and we believe that this treatment modality represents a valuable tool for emotional support, personal enrichment and the development of interpersonal skills.
Support and mutual understanding
You're not alone in your challenges. The group becomes a source of emotional support and mutual encouragement. In a group environment, participants can share their experiences, challenges and successes with others in similar situations. This creates a sense of solidarity and mutual understanding, offering valuable emotional support. Knowing that you're not alone in your struggles can be extremely comforting and motivating.
Sharing experiences
By hearing the stories and strategies of others, you can find new ideas and approaches to overcoming your own difficulties. Group therapy exposes participants to a variety of perspectives, stories and solutions. This diversity of opinions and advice can broaden participants' horizons and offer new ways of overcoming their difficulties.
Développement des compétences
You'll learn practical communication and conflict resolution skills, essential for improving your relationships. Therapeutic groups offer a safe environment to practice these new social and relationship skills. Participants can experiment, receive constructive feedback from peers and therapists, and learn strategies for better communication and conflict resolution. This practice in a therapeutic setting can then be successfully transferred to other areas of participants' lives.
What is a therapy group?
A therapy group is a safe, confidential space where individuals, couples or families can come together under the guidance of a qualified therapist. These group sessions enable participants to share their experiences, listen to others and discover new perspectives and strategies for dealing with the difficulties of everyday life. What's more, group therapy is often more affordable than individual sessions, while offering substantial therapeutic benefits.
Our therapy groups
Our therapy groups cover a variety of themes, from stress and anxiety management to couple relationships and family dynamics. Our experienced therapists create a warm and respectful environment, where each participant feels valued and listened to.

Le groupe de soutien pour les personnes en deuil propose un accueil bienveillant, un soutien mutuel et un espace de libre d’expression pour toutes les personnes. En plus d’un partage de connaissances sur le deuil, du vécu des émotions et des sentiments des personnes, il mise sur le soutien des forces de chaque personne ainsi qu’à rompre la solitude et l’isolement. Peu importe la culture de la personne, son origine, son identité de genre, le deuil est universel et inévitable et peu importe le moment de la perte – 6 mois, 10 ans ou 25 ans – il est toujours temps de s’offrir le cadeau de vivre son deuil.
​
Les groupes se tiendront chaque semaine le jeudi soir pour une durée de 2h par semaine (entre 18h et 20h). Le groupe a lieu pendant 7 semaines consécutives. Des outils vous seront également remis afin de poursuivre le travail à la maison entre les séances.
​
Prochaines dates: les jeudis à 18h à partir du 7 novembre 2024
