Acoustic Youth – Group Therapy that is Fun for Teens!
Acoustic Youth is a 14-week group therapy modality that combines music and mentoring, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness to empower teens. Each group member is encouraged to write and record a song about something in their life they would like to gain mastery over. Teens have the opportunity to work with a musical mentor in a professional music studio. The mission of the group is to help teens develop resiliency and coping skills through a fun, social and creative process. I HIGHLY recommend!
