Creating change in your life can be very powerful in a group setting with peers facing similar challenges.
We’ve designed a variety of group therapy topics to meet the unique needs of students. Groups are led by master and doctorate level clinicians and trainees who possess a vast range of skills, expertise and experience. These therapy groups are confidential, free of cost and only require an initial appointment to get started and learn more.
Summer groups start the week of Monday, May 13, 2024.
