We feel group therapy is the key to helping girls at every age whether they are having friendship struggles at the elementary school level to transitioning to adulthood in their early 20’s. Anxiety, depression and overall self-worth are the focus of our groups. We combine a variety of skills and concepts in our groups depending on age, developmental level and current issues group members are facing.  The average group is 8-10 sessions and has around 6-8 members and the cost is usually $100 per session.

Payment is reserving your spot and you will be charged regardless of attendance.

We are excited to announce Courage Camp for Rising 4th/5th graders, 6th/7th and Rising 8th graders.

Key Therapeutic Activities

• Courage: What it is, How to Have More
• Tools to Calm Down During Anxious and Stressful Times
• Friendship Skills
• Finding your Superpower

Each participant will leave with a Courage Journal with tools at the end of the camp.

We all know that Sundays are usually the time we freak out about the week ahead. This group is designed to help ease into the upcoming week with some creative and fun activities along with tools for the current issues participants are facing.

Shayna Barksdale, LCSW-S, has developed this group from her almost 30 years of practice addressing the needs of teen girls and the caregivers that support them.
