As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with years of experience, I want to gently remind you that prioritizing your mental health isn’t a luxury, it’s one of the most meaningful resolutions you can make for the year ahead. With nearly one in four U.S. adults experiencing a mental illness last year, more people are recognizing that seeking support is a strength, not a weakness, and that early engagement in care can make a real difference in daily life.

Why Therapy Matters in the New Year If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by stress, stuck in patterns that don’t serve you, or simply unsure how to navigate life’s transitions, therapy can offer clarity, connection, and coping tools to move forward with confidence. Research shows that both group therapy and individual therapy are effective ways of supporting mental health, and each offers unique benefits depending on your goals and needs.

Individual Therapy: One-on-One Support Individual therapy provides a confidential space dedicated entirely to you. In a one-on-one setting, your therapist can tailor interventions and insights to your specific history, challenges, and aspirations. This personalized attention can be especially helpful when navigating deep emotional wounds, trauma, or relationships. Many clients find that the strong therapeutic relationship developed in individual therapy fosters trust and growth at a pace that feels safe and supportive.

Group Therapy: Shared Growth and Support Group therapy brings people together who face similar challenges, creating a supportive community where you can learn from others’ experiences and feel less alone in your journey. It’s a cost-effective option that helps reduce isolation and build social skills, while also providing real-time feedback and encouragement from peers. Group settings often help participants see their struggles in context, gain new perspectives, and practice interpersonal skills in a safe space.

Both group and individual formats can be meaningful pathways to growth and telehealth options have made accessing either form of therapy more convenient and flexible without compromising quality of care.
