Social Skills Groups, Anxiety Groups
We offer a range of groups for children, teens, and parents. Groups offer you and your child the opportunity to receive therapeutic care at a lower cost, and helps connect you with others who are struggling with similar problems. Groups allow for social interaction and connection, while learning important skills and concepts to help promote wellbeing. Our groups are usually not an appropriate therapy modality for processing serious mental health issues or trauma, but if you are looking to learn skills and practices to promote general mental health, self-care, and to reduce mild symptoms of anxiety or depression, our groups may be appropriate for you.
Our groups sometimes change, and not all groups are offered throughout the year. Please contact us directly to find out about upcoming groups, and the related costs and details.
