What Should You Expect?

Confidentiality: Share with Confidence

At The Talk Shop, we prioritize confidentiality in our group therapy sessions. We create a safe and trusting environment where you can freely share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, knowing that your privacy is always respected.

When you join a therapy group, your Group Leader will guide you through a comprehensive introduction in your first session, outlining how our groups operate and explaining our confidentiality agreement. Rest assured, only your first name will be visible during sessions, and your last name will never be disclosed without your explicit permission.

Effective group therapy thrives on trust and open communication. While you may begin as strangers, you’ll quickly build a supportive network where everyone’s voice is valued, fostering connections that can last beyond the sessions.
