Counseling Groups

The Center for Counseling offers a variety of programs designed to fit the needs of each client. We developed group sessions, which are an excellent way to address some of the more common needs among our clients. Some groups may target specific age groups or genders to provide the most comfortable atmosphere possible. Schedule times vary, so be sure to contact us for more detailed information.
