New Groups for Children and Adults

Group Therapy at NECBT can be effective for all ages.

Here at NECBT are in the midst of some exciting developments in the arena of Group Therapy.

While we have long been holding an ongoing Children’s Group to help our child patients develop Social Skills and work on their Emotional Intelligence, we are now introducing new groups into our repertoire!

Children’s Yoga, while previously incorporated into our Children’s Group, will now be its own separate entity. Children’s Yoga, once only offered every other week, will be offered for patients within our practice on a weekly basis every Monday at 4:45 pm.
Our Yoga Teacher, Mandee Morris, has completed her Children’s Yoga Training with KAY (Kidding Around Yoga), and makes the practice much more than just slow-movement and breathing. The class is fun as well as useful in guiding children toward mindfulness and our I-CBT based rational thinking.

We are also excited to announce that Dr. Simon Julien will be starting a Group for children within our practice who are Mild-to-Moderate on the Autism Spectrum. This group will begin next Friday, October 3, at 4:45 pm, and among other things, will help children on the spectrum work on their social skills with the support of their peers.

Lastly, Bonnie Lillis, MA, LPC has started her Anxiety and Depression Group for patients within our practice. This new addition is designed to help patients struggling with Anxiety and Depression to have added support from those who may be dealing with similar symptoms.

New groups are always forming here at NECBT. We are currently in the process of developing a group for Adolescent patients here in the practice and plan to have that up and running before the end of October. We are also working on developing our Yoga program to have classes available for adults.

If you or someone you know could benefit from our programs, please call our office at 860-430-5515. Once individual treatment has begun, our therapists can develop your treatment plan, which can include group therapy or yoga. We are accepting new patients and can get you into treatment quickly!
