Group therapy is a powerful supplement or alternative to individual therapy. Group therapy is led by a trained therapist with 7-10 teens who struggle with similar issues such as depression, self-injury, substance abuse, anger, rebellion, etc. Group meets weekly at the Alpine Connection offices and lasts for an hour and a half and runs in 6-week intervals. Please call 719.233.TEEN (8336) to check availability for open groups and meeting times.
Group therapy options:
1. Teen group therapy: This group helps teens who are struggling with specific issues including anger management, addiction, mood disorders, self-injury, etc. Many teens have found this option to be even more beneficial than individual therapy due to the weekly community and accountability from their peers. This group will also include some out-of-office experiential opportunities that will help teens gain a better awareness of themselves, how they interact with others, and how to find new solutions for the issue(s) they are facing.
2. Parent group therapy: This group helps parent(s) who are struggling with raising their teen(s). Parent group therapy provides professional guidance from a trained therapist in addition to the collective wisdom of the group in providing new solutions for you and your family.
3. Faith-based group: This group will challenge teens to explore and grow in their spiritual journey and faith in God. Through faith-based activities, your teen will learn how to make right choices and discover their God-given potential to follow through on these choices. This group will emphasize the importance of their spirituality (non-specific to any particular denomination or church), and will also include some out-of-office experiential opportunities.
4. YMCA workout group: This group includes free access to the YMCA and all their facilities and will include weekly goals for personal health with individual workouts as well as group team sports supervised by an Alpine Connection leader.
