• Group therapy is a good modality for those who have a special needs brother or sister. Special groups created for school success, mood regulation and anger management, and social skills. High school group deals with school stress, life balance, family pressures, developing self as well as future outlook with college/career choices.
  

• Support groups for kids of all ages as their parents separate, divorce, remarry and form stepfamilies as needed. Ms. Oberlin creates a curriculum to help kids make sense of their emotions and experiences using music, arts & crafts, journaling, board games, and more.

** One girl's group in particular appropriate for girls in middle school/early high school for those dealing with peer/school pressure, developing self-esteem, making good choices, assertiveness and social skills. Perfect for those girls who may process things in a different way, have a different learning style, and possibly be less socially sophisticated than some girls this age. Girls with anxiety, mild depression, ADHD, Asperger's or those who are unsure of themselves for a variety of reasons can benefit.
