At LG Counseling, we understand how challenging it can be for teens to navigate the social complexities of adolescence. That's why, since May 2023, our Peer Connections Teen Group has been providing a safe and supportive space for teens to develop critical social skills, build confidence, and form meaningful relationships. Led by our experienced lead therapist, Briana Johnson, LPC, this group has already made a lasting impact on the lives of many teens—and we’re thrilled to announce that the group is resuming this Saturday, September 14th, from 10-11:30 am!
What is Peer Connections?
Our Peer Connections Teen Group is designed for teens who may struggle with social interactions, emotional regulation, or self-esteem. Whether it’s difficulty making friends, managing conflict, or understanding their own emotions, this group focuses on equipping teens with the tools they need to thrive in social settings.
Through a series of engaging, interactive sessions, teens learn skills like:
Identifying and expressing emotionsÂ
Effective communication and active listening
Empathy and understanding others’ perspectives
Conflict resolution and problem-solving
Since its inception, we’ve seen remarkable success stories from participants, including increased confidence in speaking up, improved relationships with peers, and better handling of challenging social situations. It’s been incredibly rewarding to witness the positive changes taking place in these young lives!
Why Social Skills Matter
Social skills are essential for lifelong success, and adolescence is a critical time to develop these abilities. Teens with strong social skills are better equipped to handle stress, build supportive friendships, and navigate the world with confidence. By offering a group format, Peer Connections allows teens to practice these skills in real-time, with peers who may be facing similar challenges.
Teens who participate in Peer Connections benefit from:
A non-judgmental, supportive environment where they feel safe to share and grow.
Guidance from a licensed professional who specialize in teen development and social skill-building.
Opportunities to practice new skills through fun, structured activities and discussions.
Is Your Teen a Good Fit?
If your teen has been struggling with making or maintaining friendships, feels anxious in social situations, or could benefit from strengthening their communication skills, Peer Connections could be the perfect opportunity for them.Â
We’re always amazed by the progress our group members make, and we’re excited to see what the next round of sessions will bring! If you’re interested in learning more or reserving a spot for your teen, give us a call today. Spots are limited to ensure a personalized experience, so don’t wait to secure your child’s place.
