Groups
Social Skills Group
Co-ed Social Skills Group for ages 10–13 that helps tweens and teens build confidence, coping skills, and resilience through group therapy and evidence-based practices. Led by licensed mental health clinicians, sessions teach anxiety management, emotional regulation, communication, and problem-solving using CBT-informed strategies, skills coaching, and guided peer interaction. Participants practice real-world social skills—starting conversations, making friends, handling conflict, and navigating school and social settings—in a supportive, structured environment. Ideal for youth with social anxiety, shyness, or difficulty in peer relationships who want to feel more comfortable and thrive in everyday social situations.

Using evidence-based group therapy and skills coaching (CBT-informed tools, healthy coping strategies, and peer support), participants explore the impact of social media, comparison, and peer pressure. Teens practice boundaries, communication, and self-advocacy to reduce anxiety, improve relationships, and develop a stronger sense of self—both online and in everyday life.
