Cold Spring Harbor, NY
Your tween is struggling with anxiety. She has a difficult time making and keeping friends, but it's mostly because of the thoughts she's having get in the way. She wants to participate in school activities, but she is worried and it seems too difficult!
Learning the skills can take some work, but I know that if you put in the effort, you can really do this.
In group you'll learn:
- How to make and build friendships
- Conversation building and rules
- confidence building
- taking the leap even when you're scared
Tween Social Anxiety Group
Run By Monica Wells, LMHC
You’re a teen girl, and you struggle with social interactions a lot of the time. You have your thoughts and ideas, and sometimes you feel like you don’t fit in. Maybe you feel like you can’t share information, or that if you share others will criticize you. You feel like you have no problems making friends, but keeping those friends is a different story. You wonder, “what is wrong with me? Why can’t I do this whole ‘social thing?’”
So, your self-esteem suffers. You think something is wrong with you, but there most definitely is not. You just need some rules and a path to get to where you want to be. You need to find your peeps, figure out the rules, and discover what you can do once you have those rules.
Imagine feeling more confident. You can participate in things you never thought you could have, and it feels fantastic. You’re ready to practice your learned skills and move out of your comfort zone!
Want to discover your superpower and your magic? I have helped many teens like you take steps they NEVER thought were possible. What you’ll need?
-An Open mind
- The willingness to learn
- Readiness to be part of a group
