Group Therapy
Summer Groups:
Children Ages 5-8
Little Bodies, Big Emotions
$360 for 4 weeks for mom and daughterA lot of parents reach out to me and say, “ My child is so sweet but has a hard time managing their emotions.” It’s great that we are encouraging our children to find healthy ways to express their emotions as opposed to trying to ignore them! But sometimes those emotions can feel so big they are hard to manage.
In this group, we’ll learn that big emotions are normal…we all have them! But we’ll also learn healthy ways to express our emotions and help ourselves feel better. Practicing in a group is one of the best ways to learn about our feelings and how to best express them.
Each four week group is limited to six participants. Wednesdays 3:00-4:00pm

$180 for four weeks
In this group, boys diagnosed with ADHD will have the opportunity to connect with other boys like themselves. We’ll make fidget toys and learn artful ways to help our minds relax and focus.

We’ll lean into our strengths and especially the role creativity can play in our lives.

Navigating theTween Years
Young teenagers, or “tweens,” often come to therapy feeling a little out of sorts. Their bodies are changing…sometimes quickly…and they feel both like a child and an emerging teenager all the time. In this group we will use the arts to explore ways to navigate this turbulent time and hopefully the participates will see that they are not alone with how they are feeling during these changes.
Each four week group is limited to six participants. Thursdays 3:00-4:00pm

$180 for four weeksTeens Ages 13-16
As kids with ADHD move into their teen years, new challenges arrive. School work is getting harder and their bodies and minds seem to be changing all the time. Connecting with other boys like themselves can help teens with ADHD know they are not alone, an important goal of this group. We’ll also explore ways art can help us focus and relax as we experience the joy and stress of moving towards adulthood. It’s a wild ride but art can help make it fun.

Sometimes girls with ADHD have symptoms that present differently from boys their age so we’ll take time to explore how we each uniquely respond to our environment. We’ll use art to find ways to focus, relax and connect with each other.
