Group Therapy Services
At CORE Connection we offer a variety of group therapy services designed to foster connection, support, and personal growth. Our groups provide a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can share their experiences, learn from one another, and develop valuable skills.
Our therapists work to make sure the group is a good fit for the clients goals and needs and that the group participants will work well together.
