Teen years are tough years for girls. As if coping with the physical changes weren’t enough, the other demands on our teen girls put a lot of pressure on a segment of our young people who are, in reality, trying to prepare for adulthood – but not there yet. Where can teens (and their parents) turn for support?
High School Teen Girls Group Therapy like the sessions offered at Cheyenne Child and Family Counseling is a good solution to consider. Research is demonstrating that group therapy can be highly effective. Why? Because group therapy facilitates giving and receiving support according to West Chester University. The group supports each participant by listening when they talk and engaging with them for the entire session, which by itself decreases the sense of isolation. The members also share their own experiences. The value of the give and take that happens in a High School Teen Girls Group Therapy session positions this therapy process as a win-win for teens, their families, and society as a whole.
