Our weekly process groups are open groups in which clients can bring any topic to the table that has impacted their lives both past and/or presently. Guided by a licensed clinician, participants have the opportunity to receive multiple perspectives, support, encouragement and feedback from both peers and therapist in a safe, comfortable, and confidential environment. These interactions will allow clients the opportunity to deepen their level of self-awareness and learn how to relate to others in similar situations.

Our clinicians will incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy skills as they relate to group topics or situations. The goal is to help participants gain awareness of how beliefs, perceptions, and opinions impact how you feel and behave in certain situations. Groups offer a low-pressure opportunity to practice skills that can benefit mental health outside of the group setting, and each group will end with a guided coping skill such as relaxation, grounding, distress tolerance, and mindfulness.

Supporting High School Seniors & Their Parents Through the College Transition

This annual summer intensive is designed to help high school seniors and their parents prepare—mentally, emotionally, and practically—for the transition to college.

Offered as a two-day weekend group, the College Transition Intensive addresses the fears and anxieties that often come with this major life change. The teen group will focus on navigating new social environments, handling peer pressure, managing time and responsibilities, and maintaining mental wellness during their freshman year.

Parents join for the second half of each session to explore their own concerns and expectations, and to work with their teen on creating a personalized support and wellness plan that can be used throughout the year.

This group is facilitated by therapist Bridget Howard-Vanevenhoven, LCMHCA, who has served on the board of the American Suicide Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) since 2019 and is currently board president. This group is for teens ages 13-18 who have been impacted by the loss of a family member, friend, or loved one and provides a compassionate safe space to share experiences, process grief, and heal after suicide loss.

Group is open enrollment, and participants are typically enrolled around 12 weeks dependent upon individual needs and progress. Please contact us to schedule a group assessment ($180). The group requires a 4-week up front commitment ($300) to help build a trusting and vulnerable safe space for participants.
