Teen Girls Group
Healthy Relationships and Social Confidence

teen girl

Teen girls often ask themselves, where do I belong? How do I fit in?

 

Social groups in high school are confusing and the pressures of academics and extracurricular activities make it even harder. Girls who struggle with anger, anxiety, depression, and/or have developed a poor set of coping skills find the dynamics even more challenging and need to learn healthy coping skills.  This group is designed to help teen girls who have trouble fostering positive peer relationships. The participants will work on making and keeping friends, understanding and fitting into a peer group, and learning about choosing relationships that are not antagonistic.

 

This group is led by Karen Chaudhry, LCSW, and Janene Pack, LMHC in the Fairfax office.
