Group therapy is a highly effective way to work through many types of life's challenges. Support groups offer each member individualized strategies to lessen the sense of isolation. The group becomes a "safe place" as social skills and relationship issues from real life are recreated within the therapy group where they can be explored safely, and new patterns of relating develop. Whether the need is to improve social skills, manage anxiety or depression, learn coping skills, handle bullies, or to find peer support for a recent family struggle, a therapy group is right for you.

The teenage years are challenging for teens and their parents. Teens face many new pressures and may not always react in the healthiest ways to the problems they encounter. In some cases, teens may need counseling to help them cope with their problems. Some of the struggles teens face are a normal part of growing up, like dealing with peer groups, experimenting with new ideas, and going through changes in mood, identity, and interests. Support groups help teens through some of these issues by providing a safe setting to express themselves, and creating an environment that is structured and supportive.
