The Healthy Minds Series:
Learning and Connecting
with Others Like You
We are happy to offer several therapeutic groups and courses, which will enhance your resilience and well being.
Both in-person as well as virtual, each group is focused around a specific topic and age range in order to facilitate a vital sense of camaraderie and community among the participants.
Our current groups are: The Teen Anxiety Group, New Mothers Group, DBT Group, Grief Group and the Dream Workshop
The Healthy Minds Series at IPG is not covered by insurance. They are elective courses designed to provide education, develop skills, and create connection. Participants are not diagnosed or treated for any particular disorder during the courses.
Separate, individual treatment is concurrently available through our therapy services.
1. The Teen Anxiety Group
Losing friends, social media addiction, excessive worry and anger.
Anxiety can express itself in damaging ways, especially amongst teens who are struggling so much in this upside-down world. Phone-addicted, afraid of being ostracized, unable to focus, our teens are really struggling.

3. The DBT Group
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills Group for Young Women
Relationships have gone bad way too often. I know I sometimes overreact, but sometimes they’re the ones who overreact! How do I tell the difference??
Starting Friday, March 3, 2023, 6pm. In-person at the Westfield offices. For young women, roughly ages 18-29.

4. Dream Workshop
Walk the royal road to your unconscious
Do you think your dreams have meaning? Support your individual therapy by examining your unconscious and uncovering hidden parts of yourself.
5. Grief and Loss
And things have never been the same since.
Have you experienced the loss of a loved one recently, or even a long time ago? Many of us have. We are often left feeling alone, as if no one understands our pain. This is an opportunity to explore the long lasting effects of loss and grief alongside other people facing similar loss.
