Give your child or teen – and yourself – the support needed to thrive!
Dear friends and colleagues,
I’m proud to lead our Child and Adolescent Group Therapy Program at the Institute. As you’re updating your schedules for 2019, we wanted to offer a helpful overview of our current group therapy options – in a concise format organized by age and meeting day. Take a quick look at the groups below to determine which ones might work best for you and your family!
Group therapy is a great way to build support and community with same-age peers. It also provides an opportunity for real-time practice of skills within a safe and supportive environment. Group therapy can be a compliment to individual therapy or a stand-alone service when appropriate. Once we discuss your family’s goals, we can recommend services that will best meet them.
We offer 25 weekly therapy groups for all ages – from girls to parents. Learn more about the positives of group therapy and check out our current offerings below. Then, give our Intake Coordinator a call. She can answer your questions, advise you about the combination of services that could best meet your family’s goals, and help you determine if group therapy might be a fit for you and/or your daughter.
In gratitude,
Morgan Fletcher, Psy.D.
