GROUP SERVICES

CHILD, ADOLESCENT, AND FAMILY GROUPS

We offer a variety of groups to teach coping skills to children and adolescents. Some of these groups are open to any child in the group’s designated age range and others are for children coping with specific diagnoses, such as anxiety, depression, ADHD and emotional dysregulation.  Each group’s curriculum draws from evidence-based programs to meet its goals. All are led by experienced therapists.

​

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our in-person groups have been suspended. 

​

Our DBT Skills Groups continue to meet in a virtual format.
