GROUPS
Group counseling can be a powerful way of working on issues at any age. But it is especially so during adolescence and young adulthood, when social relationships take on enlarged importance. Yet, the skills to relate effectively are still developing, presenting challenges to forming and maintaining friendships. Group counseling offers an opportunity to work on relationship skills with other group members, while also providing a support system to sustain life's challenges.
*A screening interview is required before joining any group*

Now forming for February
Group for Graduating Seniors
The final semester of senior year is undoubtedly filled with excitement and celebration, but can also be filled with anxiety and emotionally challenging experiences in saying goodbye to friends, separating from family and entering the larger world of college and career. This short-term group will offer 12th graders an opportunity to connect with each other and discuss these experiences in a supportive environment where they can be genuine and real with their peers.
This group will meet weekly for one hour from Feb-May on either Tuesday or Wed afternoons.
The group will have 6-8 members. The cost is $50 per session and reduced fees are available.
