The group is for those wishing to work on interpersonal skills while exploring issues related to skill building, social anxiety/isolation, anxiety/depression, alcohol/drugs use/misuse, eating and body image, trauma, perfectionism, boundaries, fear, anger, grief/loss. The group meets weekly online for 1 hour. I meet with prospective group members and parent(s) in an online session before the adolescent transitions into the group. This is an opportunity to communicate goals the adolescent and parent(s) may have while giving the adolescent an opportunity to see if they'd like to work with me.
