Are you a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) who often feels overwhelmed by the intensity of daily life? Research by Dr. Elaine Aron shows that HSPs process information and emotions more deeply, which can lead to stress but also to remarkable strengths. This therapy group provides education about the HSP trait, guided support, and practical tools to manage overwhelm. Together, members will explore strategies for resilience, reframe sensitivity as a strength, and practice authentic relationship skills. Through discussion and experiential activities, participants gain insight, validation, and connection within a supportive therapeutic community.

In today’s world, teens spend far too much time scrolling through strangers’ highlight reels and far too little time forming real connections. Comparison replaces connection, and authenticity starts to feel like the ultimate risk. This group offers something different: a supportive, welcoming space for 15–18 year olds to safely discover who they are, express themselves genuinely, and experience being fully accepted. Through real conversations, creativity, and shared experiences, teens find confidence, connection, and that rare sense of “I belong here.” Parents, give your teen a place where they can exhale and grow. Teens, come as you are.
