This in-person weekly group will provide ongoing support for long-term recovery. Clients will be able to process past trauma, gain coping skills, and develop sober social support. This group is less about not using substances and more about exploring underlying trauma or challenges that can become obstacles to recovery and personal growth. While we emphasize long term abstinence from substances, we know that returns to use are often part of the process and can be great learning opportunities. Clients will learn skills drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness practice. Group size 6-8.

There are many self-help support groups to choose from, and all have tremendous value! They all teach helpful tools. Recovery Hill's group goal is to get you to actually implement those tools in times of need. This is unique. There is not a reading of by-laws, or committee meetings to attend. We won't avoid hypocritical behaviors, but confront them and grow as a group! We're not going to force your perspective to fit the rest of the groups views; instead, we want to help you find a road map that helps you in your goals.

Adolescence is a time of significant growth and change, and peer support plays a crucial role during this period. Group therapy creates a unique space where teens can practice empathy, learn from one another, and build resilience together. Today, thousands of teens are struggling with a nicotine dependence. I approach this issue with genuine empathy, understanding that they are up against one of the most addictive substances in human history. Teens need real support and effective strategies to free themselves from these powerful dependencies. Together, we will go through the process of quitting nicotine and find healthier coping strategies.
