Teen Girls Therapy Group
What is Teen Girls Therapy Group?
This group provides a safe, supportive community where teen girls can feel comfortable sharing their experiences, create healthy connections, and learn the skills they need to feel great about themselves so they can live healthy, meaningful lives.
Who is this group for?
Teen girls struggling with depression, social skills challenges, anxiety, or low self-esteem can benefit from Teen Girl Therapy Group. To the outward world, these girls look like they have it all going on. They get good grades, work hard, and are genuinely good kids. However, inside they feel disconnected, disengaged, and dissatisfied. They may have trouble expressing themselves or being assertive for fear of disappointing others. They may talk about not liking, or even hating themselves, as they try to keep up appearances of perfection. It can all feel so overwhelming!!!
Who is Teen Girls Therapy Group not for?
If your teen is violent, engaging in problematic sexual behaviors, or actively abusing drugs or alcohol, they may not be appropriate for group therapy. Group needs to feel safe for all members and if your teen is struggling with one of these issues, they may need specialized treatment or individual counseling to work on some of these concerns before considering joining a group therapy.
What will members get from this group?
- Learn to love themselves as they are as they learn how to practice self-compassion and self-forgiveness.
- Combat negative thinking by examining their thoughts and offering/accepting peer feedback.
- Create healthy connections with others who get their experience because they’re going through the same journey together.
