Teen Connection Group

Teen Connection Group

Michelle Emery-Xu, LMFT

Is your teen feeling stressed, isolated, or struggling to navigate relationships and emotions? The Teen Connection Group offers a safe, supportive space where high school students can share experiences, create connections, and build a deeper understanding of themselves and others.

Through guided discussions led by therapist Michelle Emery-Xu, LMFT, members will explore common teen challenges such as academic pressure, perfectionism, social dynamics, family relationships, identity questions, and worries about the future.

In this group, teens will learn to:

  • Strengthen interpersonal skills and communication

  • Navigate life changes and transitions

  • Regulate emotions and reduce stress (i.e. irritability, sadness, worry)

  • Address peer conflict and feelings of isolation

  • Reduce somatic symptoms (headaches, stomaches, tension)

  • Increase academic and social engagement

  • Increase overall health, confidence, and well-being

  • Practice being vulnerable in a safe space
