Finally, group therapy is also provided at PSC. We have a variety of group modalities designed to address a wide variety of presenting concerns. The most common groups that PSC runs include the following:

Interpersonal Process groups provide a forum in which adult individuals gather with 6-8 other members to explore ways in which relationships are formed and maintained. The focus of the group is deepening understanding of behaviors that both promote and hinder meaningful connection with others. Additionally, self-exploration is encouraged and members are provided the opportunity to experiment with and receive feedback about new ways of relating to others.

Social Skills Training groups offer opportunities for individuals who wish to learn more about effective social interactions and the basic skills that underlie building successful and lasting relationships. Group membership is based on age range. For children ages 5-11, PSC offers a group that focuses on learning new social skills and practicing them in a peer group setting. The adolescent group offers teenagers the opportunity to practice their social skills in experiential settings. Finally, the adult group features a mix of didactics and in-group exercises to strengthen relationship building skills. All social skills groups are designed to meet the needs of individuals experiencing social skills difficulties related to diagnoses such as Asperger’s, Autism, ADHD, ODD, Bipolar Disorder, General Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Non-Verbal Learning Disability. However, no specific diagnosis is required for group participation.
