We Now Offer Teen Groups in Radnor PA!
Teens (and alllll humans) are inherently social creatures. Social interaction tends to be a significant cornerstone to the growth and development of teens, which is why group counseling is sometimes suggested as an additional support alongside individual counseling.
But wait… Do I have to sit around in awkward circle and talk about my feelings like they do in the movies?
NO. We aim to create a chill and -real- energy in our group space that allows for true expression and vibing. Group members “ping pong” ideas, contribute to vent seshes, and build strengths off one another to process through whatever shared theme or skill the group identifies.
How does group counseling benefit teens?
Because identity exploration and peer connections are such a vital part of being a teen, group work tends to be supportive to teens in connecting with others and feeling validated in their experiences. Teens in our groups can expect to build on your strengths and areas for growth with the support of other teens who are on your level - not just another adult who can’t quite relate to what it’s like to be a teen these days.
Whether the group entails “skills” practice or is more of a “process” group in which group members collaboratively reflect on different areas of focus decided upon by group members, teens can expect to feel connected, validated, heard, motivated, and challenged. All of our groups are facilitated by young, relatable, and knowledgeable counselors who work to guide and structure groups to promote intentional approaches to identified areas of need.
What kind of teen group is right for you?
Are you interested in primarily practicing skills such as mindfulness? Are you interested in processing through shared themes and challenges identified within the group? How about a little bit of both? In our initial consultation call, feel free to share your vision of how group can work for you and what you are looking to gain from your group work.
