Children and Teen Group Therapy

Social Skills Groups

These groups meet once a week after school/work for an hour and the groups run for the entire school year or are ongoing. We incorporate art, games, activities, team work challenges and discussions to develop skills and create positive connections with others in a fun and active environment.

There is typically anywhere from 3-6 individuals in a group. Specific groups are formed by pairing children/adolescents/young adults of similar ages with similar therapeutic goals.

Process Groups

Process-oriented groups invite members to discuss their concerns without planned topics or activities. In these groups, members may talk about a variety of issues, such as loneliness, relationship problems, loss, struggles to feel good about themselves, balancing different stresses, academic challenges, and managing intense feelings. Some process groups have specific themes (for example, body image concerns), while others are more general (for example, co-ed growth or graduate student groups). Members may initially feel anxious about the lack of structure in a process-oriented group, but the leaders help members feel more comfortable and assist the group in starting. As the group members get to know each other, many appreciate the freedom of deciding how they want to use the time each week in the group.
