Stefani says in her experience, she has found more success in the group therapy patient group because she believes when kids are in a group, they start to see they are not alone.

Relating to each other, helps their self esteem and their ability to speak more on their feelings as they feel more comfortable and safe to share more.

Stefani says that it is important to really encourage the teen during the beginning of their treatment as they discover how they want to proceed and the kind of help they want to get better.

Stefani says even if patients just want to listen in, Stefani is still adamant about having them join group therapy then later discuss why they are falling asleep and seem uninterested, for many teens will often fall asleep during group therapy.

Stefani feels it is also important to create a sort of collaborative community with each teen in group therapy where they can check in on each other throughout the meeting and create an open line of communication.
