Navigating relationships as a teenager can be difficult. Our weekly 50-minute adolescent groups will provide a safe space for teens to discuss their struggles and successes.

The jump to high school can already be a stressful yet exciting process. For early teenagers who are questioning or confirming their identities within the LGBTQ+ community, finishing middle school can bring about added conflicts, needs for support, and a desire for camaraderie. Our weekly 50-minute middle school LGBTQ+ group is designed to provide a safe space for teens to discuss their struggles, successes, and ideas regarding their emerging identities. Topics within this support-focused, open-process group will highlight topics such as building self-confidence, surviving bullying, exploration of identity, building support networks, and more.

This group for teens is specifically designed to support those who have struggled with body image and/or disordered eating difficulties. While providing a safe, private, and engaging space, this group aims to help individuals find camaraderie with each other as they embark on learning to work on these isolating, yet all too common struggles.

Navigating relationships and building social confidence can be difficult for any teenager in high school. This can be especially the case for teens who have a neurodivergent diagnosis such as autism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Rather than over-focusing on what is “normal” connection, this specialized and strength-focused group allows neurodivergent teens to explore themselves and others in an empathic, safe, and encouraging way in hopes of creating new social skills and building relational bonds with peers.

Launching takes place when a young adult leaves their home of childhood in order to pursue adulthood. Many times this involves going away to college or obtaining a first full-time job. While this can be an exciting time, it can also be filled with fear, anxiety, stress, and uncertainty. Sometimes young adults struggle to successfully launch and move into the next developmental stage of adulthood. This group will aim to provide a safe and supportive environment for young adults struggling with issues related to launching or transitioning to new life roles and experiences. Our current Launching/Emerging Adult Group works with those making the transition or preparing to make the transition from High School to college and focuses on topics such as creating new relationships, finding relational self-esteem, working through isolation and loneliness, and expressing excitement of plans for the future.

Often times the stress of parenting can become overwhelming and debilitating. Parents experiencing increased levels of stress can find themselves stuck between the strong desire to remain flexible and responsive to their children while being confronted with the feeling that they’re out of gas and struggling to get their own needs met. We have found that this stress can lead parents to isolated places in their lives filled with anxiety and self-doubt. Our parent support group is aimed at helping parents stay connected in a space that allows them to express their emotions, develop new strategies and tools to help with their parenting skills, and find impactful support from hearing the experiences of others and relating through empathy and encouragement.
