How to Screen the Right Clients for Therapy Groups | Intake & Fit for Group Therapy

Описание: Starting a therapy group? One of the most important steps is knowing who is and is not a good fit before they join. In this episode, I break down how to screen clients for therapy groups, assess readiness for shared space, and protect the integrity of your group. You’ll learn the difference between individual therapy intake and group therapy screening, how to align clients with group goals, and why the right intake process makes therapy groups more effective and profitable.
