Group Therapy

Overview of Group Therapy Approach

Struggling with mental health concerns and significant life stressors can sometimes feel isolating. Learning and growing alongside others experiencing similar concerns can help reduce stigma and provide a validating and environment in which to heal.

Future Groups

While we are not currently enrolling for group therapy, in the near future we plan to offer the following groups:

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills groups: Groups will consist of either teenagers or caregiver-teen dyads and will teach core DBT skills. Groups are designed for teenagers who have difficulties controlling their emotions and behavior (e.g., anger outbursts, impulsivity, self-harm), unhelpful thinking patterns (e.g., all-or-nothing thinking), and/or conflicts within their relationships.

• Parenting Groups

  • Behavioral Parent Training (BPT): Parents in this group will learn evidence-based strategies for managing their children’s difficult behaviors (e.g., tantrums, difficulty following directions).

  • Support for Parents of Neurodiverse Children: Raising children with neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism, developmental delay) can be a beautiful and stressful journey. This group is designed to provide both education and a space for parents of neurodiverse children to process their challenges and successes with one another.

• Teen Anxiety Group: A cognitive-behavioral group for anxious teens in which clients will learn important, evidence-based strategies for managing anxiety. Group participants will also have the opportunity to practice these skills in a safe and supportive group environment.
