Cognitive Behavioral Therapy treatment and skills training groups for boys and girls (separately), ages 7 - 13, focusing on enhancing self-esteem, coping skills, social skills and communication skills.

The incidence of sexual abuse and assault is unfortunately all too common. There are numerous significant effects resulting from this that may continue to negatively affect our daily lives and experiences, often leading to the use of maladaptive and/or unhealthy coping skills. These effects may be lifelong for some, but with treatment may be alleviated. Julie Karnes, MSW, LCSW offers a processing, support and treatment group for adult survivors of sexual abuse. Through processing, increasing awareness and skill building, the goals of this group are to move towards managing triggers and emotions related to the abuse, moving toward healing.

As our families are faced with ever-changing environments, this open group was created in order to assist parents in managing ongoing and emerging challenges in the home with children of all ages, as well as young adults.
