Group Therapy: Connection, Skills, and Support, together
Children and teens often feel alone in their struggles, but group therapy provides a powerful reminder that they are not. At Pure Wellness Therapy, our small, closed groups offer a safe and welcoming space for kids to connect with peers, build coping skills, and practice healthy communication in a supportive environment.
Group therapy can help children and adolescents who are experiencing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, social challenges, or big emotions. For many kids, being surrounded by peers who “get it” is both healing and empowering.
How Our group therapy WorkS
Small and Supportive: Groups are capped at 10 participants to ensure everyone feels heard and cared for.
Closed Format: Each group runs for a set number of weeks with the same participants throughout, helping kids build trust and comfort.
Age-Specific: Groups are tailored to developmental stages, with separate options for elementary, middle, and high school students.
Focused Topics: Each group centers on a theme, such as anxiety, mindfulness, social skills, or confidence-building.

Our group therapy programs change seasonally, but some examples include:

Worry Group (Elementary Age): Helps children learn to manage anxiety, calm their minds, and find healthy coping strategies.
