GROUPS

Group Therapy

Group therapy is often used to address common issues or themes in individual lives. Children and adolescents particularly like groups as an alternative to individual therapy. It is sometimes easier for them to listen to their peers as well as feel that their issues are shared by others. Shoreline Psychological offers groups for all ages. Ongoing groups offered include:

DBT Skills groups (for individuals, families, or partners)— designed to teach specific skills to address difficulties with regulating emotions, tolerating distress, impulse control, building and maintaining relationships with others.
