Group Process and Support for Teens

The Solution Center, LLC is well known for it’s very successful Group Process and Support for Teens.  We also offer age-expanded options, with specialized groups for early teens in our Middle School Process and Support Group, and returning College Aged participants.

Group Therapy has always been considered an ideal treatment modality for adolescents.  Therapy Groups offer teens a safe place to share their lives, receive feedback, and to take social risks.  Groups can make a huge positive difference for adolescents in overcoming the challenges of growing up in a supervised environment.  Our groups offer high school, junior high and college students in various stages of psychotherapy a safe place to come together and develop the confidence they need to be successful, and to build on successes already achieved.  Our group participants are all accomplished teens academically, athletically, artistically and socially.
We regularly receive most positive feedback from parents, teachers, and most importantly from the group members themselves.  The majority of our participants return each year throughout their high school years, and they eagerly request and attend reunions and college readiness groups over the summer.

While the purpose of group is not to 'make friends', we have found that many of our participants stay in touch year after year, offering each other a unique brand of support based on the honesty and respect developed during their group experience.
