Group & IOP Therapy

This therapy is designed to challenge negative emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, while teaching and reinforcing mindfulness techniques and positive coping skills. IOP is structured psychotherapy in a small group format.

This group helps participants develop an awareness of current behaviors that are violent/abusive and replace them with acceptable outlets for anger. This program is based on a combination of psychoeducation and therapy. Content areas include: managing anger, communication skills, stress management, relationships, boundaries, belief systems, and cognitive theory.

The focus of this group is mental health wellness and recovery which includes: increasing coping skills, improving communication with others, increasing social skills, peer support, mindfulness, community integration, building self-confidence, and building self-esteem.

Love and logic are other ways of saying empathy and consequences. This program teaches parents how to raise responsible kids who make good decisions and learn to manage their own lives. Instead of getting angry or lecturing our children, children can focus on their own behaviors instead of the angry parent and the resulting power struggle, which leads to more negative behavior.
