Anxiety Management Groups for Kids and Teens

Group therapy is a powerful way for people to connect with others, learn that they are not alone in how they are feeling and experiencing things, and help make sense of confusing times.

Some of our groups are split between girls, boys, and all gender as listed below. We welcome and encourage kids and teens to join the group that suits them best so they may feel comfortable connecting with others. If you have questions about this, please feel free to reach out anytime. No matter who you are – we’ll be happy to have you!

Anxiety Management Groups

Kids and teens will work together and with our therapists to find strategies to express their thoughts and feelings in positive ways and utilize fun and effective coping skills to manage the stress and anxiety that everyone is currently facing. Groups will meet for 50 minutes, once a week.

 

Playful Coping

Playful Coping is an anxiety management and coping skills group for our younger clients. Using play, games, stories, drama, and art, kids will learn ways to recognize, understand and cope with their big (often anxious) feelings. This is a great way for kids to connect with other kids who experience similar things and to gain skills in a fun and supportive group.
