Group Therapy
What is group therapy?
- Groups provide a supportive and stimulating environment for personal growth, relationship building, and skill development.
Groups are organized by topic, commonly including:
- Self-confidence
- Personal growth
- Overcoming dysfunctional family dynamics
- Trauma recovery
- Healthy relationships
- Anxiety management
- Overcoming depression
Groups typically range in size from 6 to 10 clients and are led by a trained mental health professional.
Who is eligible for group therapy?
- Currently enrolled students are eligible for unlimited group therapy sessions.
- Students may attend group therapy sessions while participating in individual or couples therapy when clinically indicated.
- Depending upon the nature of your concerns, you may be referred to individual therapy or another agency to ensure you receive the most appropriate care.
- CAPS reserves the right to determine if we have adequate resources and expertise to address your particular treatment needs. If your needs cannot adequately or ethically be met by CAPS, we will work with you to secure an appropriate referral.
What is the cost for services?
Fees for services are already included in students’ previously paid fees. No additional charges are incurred.

Art Therapy Group is a safe space to explore and express feelings, manage stress and anxiety, and explore a variety of new art materials. Art Therapy can facilitate expression, relaxation, stress management or can be just for fun. Focusing on the process of art making, as opposed to the end product is encouraged to challenge perfectionistic tendencies and practice mindfulness. Any level or experience with art materials welcome! Supplies provided or students can bring what they are working on. A group screener by the group leader is required prior to participation. Facilitated by Registered Art Therapist Myriam Reynolds, LPC, ATR.
