Teens need a safe space to learn how to deal with those big emotions. Our Teen AND Parent Group is an 8 week program for teen and parent to learn how to deal with those BIG teen emotions.

The teen will have their own safe space with a counselor to vent, share, build community, and learn coping skills while the parent will have their own separate group and counselor to vent, share, build community, and learn how to help their teen deal with those big emotions.

This group will be based on the principles of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Teens will learn essential DBT coping skills and parents will learn how to support their kids to use these skills. The goal is to bring peace and ease to your household and help you both learn ways to diffuse the overwhelm, anxiety, and stress. Learn ways to improve communication and build your relationship while parenting and addressing those feelings. 8 weeks, 2 therapists, 2 safe spaces, 1 learning and dealing unit.

All our groups are led my trained, experienced, and licensed - or in training to be licensed - professionals. All are closely monitored, and supervised and consult with Dr. Stephanie Waitt. Our groups are a great benefit for support and learning effective and efficient coping skills to help deal with mental health symptoms. You do not need a diagnosis to benefit from a group, however our groups are clinically evaluated to support individuals dealing with mental health symptoms of:

- depression

- anxiety
