Group Offerings

Why are group services beneficial?

Group services provide support and skill-building in a shared setting led by a clinician. Groups can be highly effective for individuals of all ages, while also fostering connection and shared understanding. Participants are thoughtfully grouped with peers of similar age, experiences, and needs to create a supportive and meaningful environment.

Summer Groups


Our groups include 30 minutes to 1 hour sessions that meet from July to August in Westbury and Islandia.
