I offer a variety of group therapy opportunities to meet the needs of adolescents and adults. New groups may be formed to meet the needs of referrals received. If you are interested in finding a group for your adolescent or yourself, please call for a free phone consultation to discuss your needs and options.
Groups forming:
Social Skills Transition to High School
Time: To be determined
$60 - $70 per session
This is a 10-week co-ed group for entering high school freshmen students who struggle with social skill interactions. Anxiety over leaving the familiar comfort of middle school, worry about making new friends, terror about entering new situations, places and routines can all interfere with an adolescent's adjustment to high school. The main goal of this group is to prepare teens for the increased social pressures of high school. Summer is an ideal time to meet new friends, experience new things and practice social skills in a therapeutic, non-threatening environment.
Social Skills for Young Adults:Aspergers's /NVLD
Time: To be determined
$60 - $70 per session
Young adults with a diagnosis of Asperger's or NVLD frequently possess the academic skills and innate intelligence to succeed in college. Unfortunately, deficits in social skills can make their experience in a new social setting miserable! If someone you know struggles with social skills, forming/maintaining relationships, job-seeking, self-advocacy, finding a comfortable fit in leisure activities and would like to develop independent living skills, this is the right group. Members may express their thoughts, feelings and experiences in a safe,nurturing environment, as well as give and provide constructive feedback from the leader and peers.
