Group Services
Experiencing a sense of belonging is an important skill for all of us. When we engage and interact with others, we are presented with the opportunities to feel this sense of belonging as well as learn more about ourselves in the process. However, sometimes this desire and experience can be difficult. Luckily we are also very adaptive and resilient so we can learn how to let ourselves see and be seen with others. Group therapy is a great way for learning this skill in a safe and supportive environment.

This fun and creative group focuses on utilizing play to enhance the self-awareness, self-regulation, social communication, empathy and adoptability in children.
Children use play and imagination to explore the world and to make sense of what they see, hear, and experience. Play strengthens the connections in the brain and supports intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and creative processes.
The benefits children can gain from this group include learning to communicate and express thoughts and emotions, modify behaviors, develop new and creative solutions to problems, gain respect and acceptance of self, and enhance self-efficacy and decision making abilities.
