Adolescents grow in groups. While individual therapy offers teens a private and focused hour that can be extremely beneficial, it cannot offer the kind of social experience that teens can benefit from in groups. Group therapy is experiential learning of a social and emotional nature. As a result, group therapy has several advantages over individual therapy. ADOLESCENT GROUPS Adolescents are more lonely now than ever before. And group therapy can be a powerful way of making connections and feeling less isolated. As social relationships have added importance in adolescence, group therapy offers an opportunity to work on relationship skills with other group members and develop a support system to deal with all the challenges of adolescent life. A safe space to be heard, supported, and understood. Every teen is dealing with something different, that’s why we offer themed groups designed for what you need. Whether you want to manage anxiety, build confidence, or feel more connected, there’s a group where people get what you’re going through.

Our Process First Contact and Initial Phone Call Whether our first contact is by email, phone or text, we will arrange a few minutes to talk with you by phone to better understand your needs. We will discuss treatment options and whether we have a therapist that can address your needs. If so, we will connect you with someone on our team. If not, we will refer you to another therapist or service that is a better fit. Assessment Session(s) The first 1-3 sessions are the assessment phase of therapy. We gather as much information as possible about your concerns, their history and what you have tried to address them. During this process, we will discuss our impressions of your situation and recommend a course of treatment and/or action. While it is hard to predict how treatment will work because there are so many variables, we will give you some idea of our thought process on this and what you might expect. Ongoing Sessions Assuming that your treatment involves ongoing sessions, the therapist will check in with you frequently to ensure that your concerns are being met. Discussing the process of therapy with you directly is not only good customer service, it is an essential ingredient of good therapy. Ending Therapy Therapy is a strictly voluntary process and can end any time you want. However, it is useful to discuss your desire to end therapy with your therapist for several reasons: If there are any concerns about your therapy, we can address them directly It is a way to review progress on your goals We can plan for as smooth an ending as possible While therapy can go on indefinitely for personal growth reasons, this should be a well thought out choice after specific areas of concern have been addressed.
