This 6-week, structured, closed group is designed to provide a collaborative environment where participants can develop practical skills for understanding and managing difficult thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
The goal is to increase awareness of unhelpful thought patterns and develop strategies to either challenge them or use mindfulness to create greater distance from them. Topics may include identifying and challenging unhelpful thinking patterns, exploring core beliefs, managing difficult emotions, and gradually changing behaviors that may be contributing to or maintaining distress. Sessions will include discussion, psychoeducation, guided exercises, and between-session practice to help participants apply and reinforce the CBT skills introduced in the group.

What can I expect?
With a closed group, the same participants will attend throughout the course, allowing members to build familiarity, trust, and a sense of safety within the group. The therapist will lead a guided discussion, introducing a new topic weekly, and providing space to practice new skills.   Regular attendance, confidentiality, active participation, and practicing skills between sessions will be encouraged. Participants will be encouraged to share and participate at a level that feels comfortable for them while also learning from the experiences of others.

This group is taught and moderated by a licensed clinical social worker, Megan Prahl. She is a licensed LCSW in both Texas and Indiana. Participants must be Texas or Indiana residents to sign up.
