Description

We offer teen group therapy which utilizes cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). This form of therapy focuses on the relationships between our thoughts and emotions. Through CBT, teens learn how to address negative thoughts about themselves, and replace them with more positive and self-affirming ones. We utilize this method to help cope with depressive and anxious symptoms in healthier ways. Group-focused CBT allows teens to interact with one another. Teens can discuss their symptoms of a given mental health disorder; learn about the causes of the disorder; participate in exercises to build self-esteem and solve common emotional problems; learn specific skills to use in crisis; and learn how to build a stronger network of support. The group meets on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month from 5:30-6:30pm
