| GROUP COUNSELING |
We are proud to offer a variety of counseling groups. Group counseling is a great way to talk confidentially about your concerns with people who share similar experiences and are mutually supportive. Group members learn that they are not alone and often find new ways of approaching their challenges by talking to others. **********************************************************************************************************
March 7, 2011 - UPDATE! Amy King, a Registered Dietitian and I started a group called "Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds" in January 2010 that addresses various topics such as healthy eating, weight management, stress management and self-esteem. We have already run two successful groups for children ages 9 through 12 and a group for adults. We are offering a child group once again and will be starting a teen group this Spring. We are currently accepting registration forms for all the groups listed below. Watch this Group Counseling page for more information and updates. **********************************************************************************************************
