I will be utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence based treatment modality that is effective in the treatment of anxiety and depression. ACT combines mindfulness and acceptance which helps reduce symptoms and improves emotional flexibility. Small groups provide a safe yet dynamic environment for change. I am splitting teen category into two groups, 13-16 and 17-19 years old.

Teenagers' emotions can be intense and ever-changing. These feelings are confusing not only to the teens themselves, but also family members and friends. Sometimes a teen begins having trouble with peer and family relationships. When relationships falter, self-esteem is impacted. If someone you know is having a difficult time with relationships, they will find a welcoming place in this group. I will be using different therapy modalities such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral (CBT) and dialectical (DBT). If you have any questions about this group,please call!
