Resilient Parenting
A virtual parenting skills group for busy parents
Parenting in the modern era is overwhelming. We’ll help bring clarity and direction for how to handle big feelings, communicate effectively, and face barriers to a more fulfilling parenting relationship.
We focus on building intentional, compassionate, and realistic parenting practices applicable to a wide range of ages and presentations (both neurodiverse and neurotypical).
Learn skills and tools you can tangibly apply today and that you can always come back to.
Art Group Therapy
Group Therapy creates a unique dynamic that can be highly effective for supporting children with social-emotional and behavioral difficulties.
Presently, Wolff Child Psychology offers Art Group Therapy as individual sessions or a 9-part series, held at our offices in Denver’s Highlands neighborhood.
Art-making has been found to facilitate deeper expression of thoughts, feelings, and experiences. By using visual and verbal methods of expression, children learn how to communicate and process challenging emotions and experiences. Our therapeutic focus is on decreasing anxiety and unhelpful thought patterns, while increasing healthy coping strategies and self-expression. The group environment also provides an opportunity for group members to connect with one another, receive peer support and validation, and practice social skills.
How Art Group Therapy Works
Art Group Therapy uses visual art tools, techniques, and activities to facilitate positive therapeutic outcomes related to emotional functioning and mood. Activities incorporate two- and three-dimensional art-making, including drawing, painting, collage, and sculpture. Participants:
- Design and create individual art pieces with therapeutic intent
- Engage in dialogue around their own and others’ artworks
- Reflect on the art-making process and impacts on mood and self-expression
A safe environment is created and maintained by the group facilitators, the children participating in the group, and their parents. While Art Group Therapy has a structured approach and curriculum, children and their parents sometimes share sensitive and private information with the facilitators and/or other group members and parents. Wolff Child Psychology and your group facilitators are legally bound to maintain confidentiality. Along these lines, we request group members and parents maintain others’ privacy and confidentiality.
Children who may be a good fit:
- 9-12 years old
- Interested in art
- Need support with emotion regulation and expression
