Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet challenging roles in life. Every parent faces unique struggles, whether it’s managing stress, understanding their child’s needs, or balancing family and personal life.
Our therapy groups are designed to provide a supportive and safe environment where parents can share experiences, gain insights, and develop effective coping strategies.
What Are Therapy Groups for Parents?
Therapy groups bring together parents facing similar issues. Led by a licensed therapist, these groups offer a space for open discussion, mutual support, and collective problem-solving.
Each session focuses on a specific theme, such as managing parental stress, improving communication within the family, or dealing with behavioral issues in children.
Benefits of Joining a Therapy Group
By joining a therapy group, you’ll be able to enjoy the following benefits:
- Emotional Support – Connect with other parents who understand what you’re going through. Share your challenges and triumphs in a non-judgmental setting.
- Practical Advice – Gain practical tips and techniques from both the therapist and fellow group members. Learn strategies that have worked for others in similar situations.
- Improved Mental Health – Discussing your concerns and hearing others’ experiences can reduce feelings of isolation and anxiety. It’s reassuring to know you’re not alone.
- Skill Development – Develop better coping mechanisms and parenting skills. Learn how to set healthy boundaries, communicate effectively with your child, and manage stress.
- Positive Role Modeling – Be a part of a community that encourages positive behavior and resilience. This not only benefits you but also sets a good example for your children.
Perinatal DBT Therapy Groups
Perinatal Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) groups focus on helping expectant and new mothers navigate the emotional and psychological challenges of pregnancy and early motherhood.
DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices, making it highly effective for managing stress, anxiety, and mood swings during the perinatal period.
Postpartum Therapy Groups
Meanwhile, Postpartum therapy groups are specifically designed for mothers who are dealing with the emotional and physical aftermath of childbirth. These groups address common issues such as postpartum depression, anxiety, and the stress of adjusting to life with a newborn.
What to Expect in a Session
Each therapy group session typically lasts 1-2 hours and includes:
- A check-in period where members share recent experiences or concerns.
- A discussion on the week’s topic, guided by the therapist.
- Interactive activities or exercises to practice new skills.
- Time for questions and sharing of personal stories.
