Group Therapy: Adolescents and Children

  • Experienced therapists provide weekly social skills group therapy for children ages 12 to 18. Prior to placing any child into one of our therapy options, we conduct a brief psychological evaluation focused on social skills.

  • Groups provide practical, interactive and fun learning experiences. We focus on helping children develop awareness, competence and confidence with their nonverbal communication and social skills. Groups meet once each week for one hour.

  • Adolescents and children are grouped by similar age, need and developmental level. We strive to achieve the best possible placement for each child.

  • Issues addressed include friendship skills; nonverbal communication; listening; conversation skills; joining others; impulse control; sportsmanship; dealing with teasing; teamwork; compromise; assertiveness; and perspective taking. Some groups also address anger management.

  • Many of our adolescent groups focus on self-awareness and self-confidence in social settings.
