Questions Parents Often Have About Group Therapy

you might be wondering: "does my child really need this?"

every child's social and emotional journey looks different. you might have noticed that your child:

  • finds it hard to make or keep friends
  • avoids group activities or feels anxious around peers
  • struggles with turn-taking, sharing, or following rules
  • gets overwhelmed or emotional in social settings
  • communicates better one-on-one than in groups
  • has difficulty understanding social cues

these observations matter — not because they label a problem, but because they help us understand what kind of support your child may benefit from.

how does group therapy help?

what parents say about hoola

initially, we weren't sure if group therapy would suit our child. but the sessions were gentle and well-structured. we saw our son slowly open up, participate, and feel more confident around other kids.

we loved how the therapists focused on understanding our child instead of labelling behaviour. the group setting helped her learn social skills naturally.
