Managing Anxiety Group Therapy

To address the growing levels of anxiety among our youth, First Step Wellness Psychotherapy and Counseling Center in Danbury will be offering group sessions for children who have entered the 6th grade this academic school year. This workshop will address anxiety by utilizing the empirically backed, CBT based The Coping Cat Curriculum. The Coping Cat helps children understand and normalize their anxiety while teaching them skills to mitigate anxious symptoms. This program has great results while being fun and empowering.

Sessions will occur over the course of five weeks, beginning on Monday, January 20th, 2025, and ending on Monday, February 17th, 2025. Sessions will be held from 4-6PM on the Monday of each week at our office on 412 Main Street in Danbury. Groups will contain 6-10 children. Children are strongly encouraged to attend all sessions as the lessons build on each other. Sessions will be run by clinical interns and supervised by licensed practitioners. The fee for the workshop will be $100.00 per attendee and payment is due upon registration. Due to the limited space, we will not offer refunds if a child does not attend or does not cancel within 48 hours of the program’s start date.
