Group Therapy for Kids & Teens in Clermont, Florida
Social Skills, Anxiety Support & Coping Skills Groups
Small, supportive child and teen therapy groups in Clermont, FL (6-8 kids max) focused on building social skills, emotional regulation, coping skills for anxiety and frustration, and building confidence.
Why Group Therapy?
Group therapy for kids and teens in Clermont offers a unique opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with others who are navigating similar challenges.
It’s especially helpful for building social skills, emotional regulation skills, confidence, and emotional awareness. Additionally, group therapy is a wonderful organic opportunity to practice skills in real time with the support of the group therapist.
Why Small Groups?
Unlike larger group settings, I intentionally keep groups limited to 6-8 kids.
This allows:
More individualized attention
More opportunities to actively participate (and not get lost in a large group)
Build confidence and meaningful peer connections
Practice skills in a safe, structured environment
Feeling safer sharing thoughts and experiences
Group therapy may be a good fit for:
Children who struggle socially
Kids who feel “different” or isolated
Teens who wan connection but feel unsure how
Those working on emotional regulation or confidence
Who this is for
Social skills
Emotional regulation
Confidence and self-esteem
Communication skills
Peer connection and friendship skills
Conflict resolution skills
What groups focus on
Groups are structured but engaging and age-appropriate.
Group sessions may include:
Interactive activities
Small group discussions
Skill-building exercises
Games and collaborative tasks
Guided social interactions
Real-time skill practice with peers
What Groups Look Like
I don’t believe in packing groups full just to fill a room. Each group is intentionally small so every kid has space to be seen, supported, and actively engaged.
The goal isn’t just learning skills- it’s helping participants feel confident using them in real life outside of the therapy office.
