WHAT HAPPENS IN GROUP THERAPY?

Group therapy sessions are 50-55 minutes long and are tailored to the individuals in the group. Group participants are working on similar treatment goals and group therapy allows them to learn coping and calming strategies as well as give them guided direct practice of skills in a small group therapeutic setting. Group is designed by and supervised by clinic director, Dr. Alicia Goodman, PhD, NCSP, who is a nationally certified school psychologist and clinical licensed psychologist with years of training and experience working with socially anxious, kiddos with SM, and those with emotional and behavioral regulation challenges. Dr. Goodman’s team that runs our groups are expertly trained under her direction and supervision.
