Social Groups

Led by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Myah Gittelson, Girl Squad focused on building social understanding, communication, and emotional awareness in a fun, supportive setting.

Girls Participate in activities designed to foster confidence, empathy, and friendship skills - helping them connect authentically and manage peer relationships with greater ease.

Within Dr. G's Girl Squad, adolescent girls will have the opportunity to cultivate their social skills, enhance understanding, and engage effectively with peers of similar age groups. 

Boy Squad groups are designed to support the social and emotional growth of boys navigating friendship, teamwork, and self-expression. Through structured games, guided conversation, and role-play, participants learn to interpret social cues, regulation emotions, and build strong peer relationships.

Boys will have the opportunity to practice social problem-solving, empathy, and perspective-taking in a positive, age-appropriate environment that balances structure and fun.

Teen Squad gives adolescents the opportunity to cultivate social skills, and enhance understanding, and engage effectively with peers of similar age. 

This group helps teens navigate real-world challenges such as communication, self-advocacy, and emotional regulation - skills they can carry into high school, relationships, and adulthood.

Collaborative and interactive discussions. Peer role-playing and group projects. Focus on empathy, assertiveness, and independence.
