Overcoming Anxiety

This 10-week group uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which has been proven to be one of the most effective ways to overcome anxiety and panic problems.  CBT helps individuals identify and change their anxiety-producing thoughts and self-defeating beliefs, which in turn helps decrease their anxiety and panic symptoms and increase their ability to get the most out of life.  The Overcoming Anxiety group will be held on Tuesday nights from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m or Thursdays from 6:00-7:30 p.m.

Anger Management

Learn effective coping behaviors to stop escalation and work through anger in healthy ways. Understand anger dynamics, apply new skills, lower your anger by managing stress, change negative self-talk and convert anger into forgiveness.
