Growing Together: Parent Skills Group – Support for Every Stage of Parenting

Parenting is one of the most rewarding and challenging roles a person can take on. As a parent, you will navigate your child’s emotional, social, and cognitive development, which can be both fulfilling and overwhelming. This journey can be even more complex when co-parenting, managing ADHD-related behaviors, or seeking additional support through counseling and therapy. That’s where our Parenting Skills Group comes in.


Our virtual group sessions provide parents with the essential tools and skills to raise well-adjusted children. Each week, we focus on practical strategies that promote positive behaviors, emotional regulation, and effective communication—all while fostering family growth. Whether you're dealing with tantrums, school challenges, or co-parenting struggles, we’re here to help.


This group will explore essential parenting techniques, including:


  • How to communicate more effectively with your child
  • Strategies for managing challenging behaviors, including those related to ADHD
  • Approaches to encourage emotional and social development
  • Navigating co-parenting dynamics in a supportive and constructive way


By the end of the 12 sessions, you’ll have the tools needed to create a nurturing environment that strengthens your family’s connection and supports your child’s growth.


One of the greatest benefits of joining our group is connecting with other parents facing similar challenges. Parenting—especially when dealing with ADHD, co-parenting struggles, or behavioral concerns—can sometimes feel isolating. Our group provides a supportive space to share experiences, exchange ideas, and learn from one another. Building these connections fosters a sense of community, reducing stress and promoting shared growth.

Friday Fear Facers: Virtual OCD Therapy Group for Adults

By Lisa Saponaro • September 24, 2026
Friday Fear Facers is a weekly therapy group for adults focused on building and practicing exposure and response prevention (ERP) skills to reduce OCD symptoms. Offered through the Center for Psychological Growth and Wellness, the group provides structured opportunities to learn, practice, and apply these skills in daily life. Who the Group Is For The group welcomes adults with OCD across all themes and subtypes, including contamination, checking, relationship concerns, harm-related fears, unwanted sexual thoughts, religious or moral concerns, health-related fears, and pregnancy or postpartum concerns. Other presentations may include perfectionism or “just right” experiences, doubts about past events, existential concerns, and heightened attention to bodily sensations. Both observable and mental compulsions are addressed, including reassurance seeking, reviewing memories, analyzing feelings, and mentally neutralizing unwanted thoughts. Skills and Session Structure Sessions combine education, guided ERP practice, and discussion of how to apply skills between meetings. Areas of focus include: Identifying triggers, avoidance, and physical or mental compulsions. Developing manageable exposures tailored to individual concerns. Practicing response prevention and reducing reliance on rituals. Building willingness to experience uncertainty and discomfort while participating in meaningful activities. Participation is limited to eight adults to allow time for practice, discussion, and individualized feedback. The group is intended to complement individual OCD treatment, although working with an individual therapist is not a requirement.
