GROWING TOGETHER WITH OTHER KIDS WHO GET IT
When you’re struggling with mental health, it can feel terribly isolating. Knowing you’re not alone in this battle goes a long way. While individual therapy is powerful, group therapy allows your child to connect with peers who are working through similar challenges.
At Blueprint Mental Health, we offer Group Child Therapy as a space for kids to build community, learn skills, and feel supported. It’s a setting where children can discover that they’re not the only ones who feel nervous, angry, sad, or different—and that realizing this can be healing all on its own.
Why Group Therapy Helps Kids
Children learn best through interaction, and group therapy taps directly into that. Being around peers who “get it” normalizes their experience, builds confidence, and reduces shame. With a therapist guiding the group, kids practice communication, empathy, and emotional regulation in real time.
What to Expect
Our groups are small and age-appropriate so every child feels comfortable. Sessions often include games, creative exercises, and guided discussions that promote trust and emotional awareness. Kids learn how to:
- Handle anxiety or stress in social situations
- Communicate feelings effectively
- Manage frustration and impulsivity
- Build friendships and confidence
- Practice kindness and cooperation
Each group is led by a Blueprint clinician who ensures safety, inclusion, and positive group dynamics.
Topics We Explore
Groups may focus on themes like:
- Coping with anxiety or perfectionism
- Handling peer pressure or bullying
- Managing big feelings
- Improving self-esteem and resilience
- Navigating school stress or transitions
Every group is tailored to the developmental level and goals of the children participating.
Parent Involvement
While group sessions are confidential, we value keeping parents informed. After each cycle, therapists provide general feedback and strategies for continuing growth at home.
We offer Individual Counseling, which includes Play Therapy and traditional talk therapy, Group Counseling for children, along with Parent Coaching / Support Sessions. Please click the link of the service you’re interested in.
