Designed for adolescents, ages 14-19, who may be struggling with depressed mood, anxiety, and low frustration tolerance. Adolescents who have difficulty managing their strong emotions, feel socially ineffective, and/or have low self-esteem may find this group particularly helpful. This group focuses on identifying thought processes, emotions, and behaviors that occur in response to stressful situations. Once these factors are identified, we work to adaptively change those cognitive and behavioral responses, fostering a positive shift throughout the adolescent’s psychosocial life.
Balancing dialectic and didactic instruction with gently moderated peer conversation, the group focuses on establishing a safe and nurturing environment to allow for insight development and skill building for improving emotion management and interpersonal effectiveness. Although the concepts and strategies discussed are based largely on the current cognitive-behavioral and positive psychology research and literature, the group’s format includes the use of popular films, music, and other media to help members understand and internalize what we discuss.
The Adolescent Cognitive-Behavioral Skills Group meets once each week for 60-minute sessions at 185 Alewife Brook Parkway, Suite 416, Cambridge, MA – conveniently located just a short walk from the Alewife T Station (Red Line). The group is open to both males and females and is ongoing (i.e. not time-limited).

Designed for emerging adults, ages 18-25, who would like to gain insight and build skills relating to individuation, identity development, emotion management, interpersonal empowerment and intimacy. Young adults who have difficulty managing their strong emotions, feel socially ineffective, and/or have low self-esteem may find this group particularly helpful. This group focuses on identifying thought processes, emotions, and behaviors that occur in response to stressful situations, particularly those relating to interpersonal interactions. Once these factors are identified, we work to adaptively change cognitive and behavioral responses, fostering a positive shift throughout the individual’s psychosocial life.
Balancing dialectic and didactic instruction with gently moderated peer conversation, group members work together in a safe and nurturing environment. The group’s fundamental objectives are insight development and skill building to cultivate a positive psychosocial foundation that will support an adaptive and meaningful adulthood. Although the concepts and strategies discussed are based largely on the current cognitive-behavioral and positive psychology research and literature, the group’s format includes the use of popular films, music, and other media to help members understand and internalize what we discuss.
