What if I feel nervous joining a group?

Totally normal! Most people feel that way at first. You can participate in whatever way feels comfortable, we’ll never put you on the spot. With time, it usually becomes a space you look forward to each week.

Do I have to talk about personal stuff?

Nope. You get to decide what you share and when you share it. We’ll do activities and skills-building that don’t require deep personal disclosure to be helpful.

How long are group sessions and how often do they meet?

Each group meets once per week for about 60 minutes. We’ll share your specific group’s schedule before you start.

What do we actually do during group?

A mix of conversation, guided activities, and learning coping skills. We might do creative exercises, talk through challenges, or practice strategies to handle stress, friendships, and self-confidence.

Adolescent Groups | EMERGE CENTER

ADOLESCENT GROUPS

Adolescents are more lonely now than ever before. And group therapy can be a powerful way of making connections and feeling less isolated. As social relationships have added importance in adolescence, group therapy offers an opportunity to work on relationship skills with other group members and develop a support system to deal with all the challenges of adolescent life.

A safe space to be heard, supported, and understood.

Every teen is dealing with something different, that’s why we offer themed groups designed for what you need.
Whether you want to manage anxiety, build confidence, or feel more connected, there’s a group where people get what you’re going through.
