GROUPS FOR AUTISTIC PEOPLE AND THEIR LOVED ONES

At Seven Corners Psychotherapy, we provide groups for neurodivergent folks of all ages to help them understand themselves and find connection with others. We do not provide social skills groups - we believe that the best way for people to find connection is through being themselves. Our groups use the Neurobears program to help them understand what neurodivergence, including Autism and ADHD, actually are, understand themselves and their own needs, and find joy and true connection with others. Our parenting groups also use Neurobears so that caregivers can have the same language and understanding as their children.

For more about Neurobears:

“I like being autistic”: Assessing the benefit of autistic-led psychoeducation for autistic children

Autistic voice: Sharing autistic children’s experiences and insights

Please see below for our current specific group offerings.  In general, our groups start with an intake with the therapist running the group and can be either time limited or ongoing.  An individual session is also offered at the end of the group to discuss any recommendations from the therapist.  Please reach out to the individual therapist listed below or submit the online form for more information.
