Spring Therapy Groups

Dear colleagues and friends,

Weekly therapy groups offer unique and exciting opportunities for growth - including support, real-time skills practice, and the opportunity to observe and change patterns.

We offer over 25 weekly groups for girls, teens, young women and parents.

And we wanted to let you know about five groups that are starting in the next few weeks. Learn more below!


In gratitude,

Thursdays  I 5pm - 6:15pm
Girls in Grades 1 - 3

Join us for a unique therapy group designed to help girls connect, have fun, and learn more about the ins and outs of emotional regulation. Using crafts, songs, games, mindfulness skills, and movement, girls will learn how our brains, bodies, and emotions all link together - and they'll build helpful skills to manage big emotions and foster confidence, calm, and connection.


Questions? Contact our Intake Coordinator at 626-585-8075 ext. 108.
Mondays, March 9 - June 8 I  3:45pm - 4:45pm
Girls in Grades 2 - 5

This imaginative, empowering weekly therapy group teaches friendship and emotional regulation skills while reducing anxiety. It is designed for girls who would benefit from tools to improve attention, impulsivity, flexibility and reading social cues. Girls defeat the Unthinkables – cool characters who represent tough behaviors like Space Invader, Glassman and
Topic Twistermeister.

Sundays   I  10:30am - 11:30am
Teens in High School

We currently offer three Girls and Grit® groups for high schoolers. 
Our newest addition to the schedule is Sundays, 10:30am - 11:30am!

3 Things Teens Like Best About Girls & Grit ®  Groups:

  • Finding and giving support in a safe space with other teen girls.

  • Learning more about “inner” skills, the stuff that helps us get through challenging times. Some of these skills include stressing less through mindfulness, gratitude and nurturing body and mind.

  • Practicing “outer” skills, things that can support us from the outside, such as investing in relationships, learning to lead, working through conflict in positive ways, and being empowered advocates for ourselves and others.

Thursdays   I   11am - 12pm
Young Women Ages 18 - 26

grow in compassion, wisdom, and resilience amid the exciting and 
challenging changes that accompany this period of life.
