Groups
Group Therapy for High School Aged Adolescents
I conduct two ongoing (open ended) interpersonal therapy groups for high school aged adolescents; pre-screening interview required. The groups are mixed gender and have by design, different problem profiles within the group. I believe we can learn a lot about ourselves by being with people who are different from us, as well as from people who have similar problems. The average length of participation is two years, but members only initially agree to trying five sessions. The atmosphere is one of warm acceptance, non-judgmental and caring feedback, and support, with a primary focus on relationship issues.
