A coping skills group is utilized to aid in supplement to already your individual treatment or learn some skills for mental health, while you may not have current access to individual therapy at this time (CBT, DBT, Somatic Experiencing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)). Through a psychoeducation approach, you’ll learn a variety of coping skills derived from different treatment modalities to create your own in toolkit that can aid with anxiety, depression, and emotional processing around life stressors and interpersonal relationships. Each week will consist of at least 1-2 skills taught in group with time in between group ideally utilized to tryout and practice the skill(s).

Ideal Clients: This group is perfect for anyone who: Want a group that will aid in supplemental treatment to individual talk therapy. Desire skills for mental health but don’t currently have access to individual therapy Wants better skills for managing their mental health. Enjoys learning from a psychoeducation style/approach. Why Join the Group: Have more than on therapeutic modality informing the group. Many coping skills groups follow one modality (e.g., CBT, DBT) with their group. My preference and style is to incorporate more than one therapeutic modality, as one modality is not going to meet every need or all types of clients. Build connection learning in a group setting. Group work allows the opportunity to build a sense of belonging and shared experience.
