Youth Support Groups

We offer support groups for youth between ages 10 and 17. Our groups were developed for males and females who have been exposed to trauma. Adapted from the Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS) Program, our program teaches age-appropriate social problem solving, coping skills, feeling identification, psychoeducation, relaxation, and positive activities while adding additional components that are geared toward building self-esteem, self-awareness, self-acceptance, and reducing stress and anxiety.  


We also include support groups specific to the Christian and African American community.


​The support groups include 12 group sessions for approximately 90 minutes; and 2-3 individual youth & parent sessions.​ Groups for females & males will be held separately.

Support Groups for LGBTIQA+ 

We offer therapeutic support for individuals who identify as LGBTIQA+, and their families.

 

Exploration of gender identity is a natural part of development for adolescents and teens but for some individuals can be a confusing process that requires support and acceptance.  There are unique challenges that LGBTIQA+  youth face such as issues with self-esteem and a struggle to find peer acceptance. Social media may place increased pressure on adolescents and teens to conform to expected gender norms, and they may experience bullying and social isolation.

There has been an increase in the need for mental health services for non-binary youth to help them deal with confusion, depression, and social stigmatization. We provide a safe space for self-expression and acceptance for any young people who may be experiencing difficulties related to gender identity. We welcome parents and caregivers who seek guidance and understanding so that they can be supportive of their family members during this challenging period.

Please contact us for additional information.

Adult Support Groups

We offer group support for women & men (18 & over) who may be struggling to work through trauma. The ideal individual will be one who is having a difficult time moving forward in his/her life after experiencing, for example, a divorce, physical/sexual/emotional abuse or neglect, or the loss of a loved one.


Our goal is to ultimately assist individuals who are seeking a bit of inspiration, encouragement, & the tools to overcome the obstacles that may be in the way of reaching his/her goals due to trauma and other past experiences.


We also include support groups specific to the Christain community, African American community, and the LGBT/Non-binary community.


The support group meets one evening per week for approximately 90 minutes with the option of having individual sessions outside of the group. 

Please contact us for additional information.
