Group Therapy and Support Groups

 

 

Our Services


Group Therapy and Support Groups are confidential, unique experiences that allow members to obtain support for a variety of concerns, practice communication skills, experiment with new behaviors, and strengthen social peer connections. Led by a C-CAPS professional mental health professional, group members listen, identify, and provide effective and supportive feedback on a variety of topics.

Drop-in groups do not require registration or an initial appointment. You can just drop in!  To participate in a therapy group, please contact C-CAPS for information.  Before joining a therapy group it is necessary to set up a screening appointment with the group’s facilitator(s). You will meet briefly with a therapist/psychologist to discuss the group further and answer any questions you may have. If interested, please call (973) 596-3414 for more information.
