Do you know any teens who struggle with controlling emotions? Many teens don’t have the skills needed to cope with strong emotions and to make them manageable for daily living.
This is a weekly group for teens who want to connect with other teens and receive support as they process a variety of stressors. Group sessions are tailored to address specific issues raised by group members. The biggest result group members will experience is being able to gain perspective and improve their ability to manage distress through an environment of peer acceptance and exploration of practical coping strategies.
Held on Thursdays at 5pm for 60 minutes.
**Virtual meetings only, at this time.**
Teens can join the group after each participant or parent completes the registration form and speaks with the group facilitator, Tati Hernandez.

— Parent of 15-year-old daughterWe read through your website from start to finish and were so impressed by your extensive credentials and training but, the real reason why we want to work with you is your clear enthusiasm for children and families and the wisdom and deep love you share for both!
— Mom of 12-year-old child with special needsAmy knows how to relate to children, and make them feel comfortable . My son was shy at the beginning but Amy asked him a couple questions about what he likes and immediately found the connection to him. He happily followed her in the office (just after a 3 min of conversation) and preformed the test. He wasn’t nervous or scared and it’s bc of her ability to relate to kids.
We had a great experience and he wants to go back! Thank you very much!
