Many kids join a therapy group reluctantly, skeptical of being open and vulnerable with a group of their peers. It's not unusual for group members to begin hiding behind a hoodie or slightly off camera and then to progress to being upset that the group is over! 

 

Group can be an antidote to the thoughts or feelings that "no one else understands."

For pre-teens and teenagers, group therapy is about having conversations that might not feel safe or comfortable with friends IRL. These groups are about trusting oneself and others in ways that can repair old feelings and experiences. Teen groups are also fun: no one knows you better than your peers and laughing with a safe, confidential group can be just what teens need to release after school stress and pressure.
