Call, 713.466.1360, to join our groups.
Making Sense of Emotions from the Inside Out (limited offer)
Making Sense of Emotions from the Inside Out is a fun and interactive therapeutic group, will help children identify their emotions and learn strategies to better manage their reactions. Based on emotional regulation themes seen in the movie Inside Out, a variety of interactive activities will be used to help children explore the best way to handle emotions in different situations and settings. Activities in this group will encourage children to work through social and emotional situations in a structured and creative environment. The small-group environment will allow for individualized problem solving, as well as having a peer group available to facilitate social situations.
Friends & Feelings- K-2nd & 3rd-5th Grade
The Friends and Feelings Groups are designed for children in kindergarten through the fifth grade. The groups work on identifying emotions, improving social skills, positive behaviors, following directions, and regulating emotions. Through expressive therapies, game based activities, and fun social interactions, elementary students will gain understanding of their emotions, the size of their reactions, and improve social interactions.
Counseling groups are a great way for children and teens to connect and relate over common struggles and issues. They are also a great way to make friends! Group counseling prices are significantly less than individual counseling sessions ($50/session compared to $125/session), and are therapeutically beneficial in many ways. Many of our counseling groups have been running for over 8 years and have become a community favorite, with many clients asking to come back each year. While the general goals & focus of the groups remain consistent, the group facilitators change from semester to semester, offering a unique experience for our group members each year. To register your child for one of our groups, give us a call today! 713-466-1360
