Emily Ruha Keller's Groups
Group Therapy
Join us for this 2-hour expressive arts and redecision therapy group. This is a group largely focused on processing unresolved childhood feelings and experiences to help members move forward by accessing their strengths in the here and now. Primary theories used: Gestalt and Redecision Therapy. We will use the expressive arts, sand tray, and experiential explorations to enhance explorations of our strengths and change. An initial screening session is required to join this group and to determine fit.
Teen Group
Dr. Keller incorporates redecision therapy, sand tray therapy, expressive arts, and some elements of play therapy into group therapy with teens. These therapeutic modalities invite awareness and communication of thoughts and feelings, leading to greater insight and behavior change. Group therapy for teens leverages teens’ natural desire to connect with peers as they explore, discover, and delight in who they are becoming. This group will focus on the development of social skills and emotional literacy to address academic stress, anxiety, and healthy boundary setting.
Group Play Therapy for Kids
Play therapy is a widely researched therapeutic modality used to support children’s growth and development while addressing a number of emotional and behavioral concerns. Group play therapy offers opportunities to work on social skills and boundaries with peers while in a therapeutic setting. Group play therapy also can be a more affordable options for some families. Also, group play therapy allows the play therapist to support more children with the powers of play therapy.
