We're trying something new! A social connections and skills group.
A lot of our clients have told us they want a place, simply to meet others, have meaningful conversations, talk and learn from one another, and grow. An opportunity to meet with others in a safe group setting. Not just a special interest group, not just a peer support group, not just a therapy group, not just talk. More like an organic group that moves with the needs of its members. A facilitated group with no other specific focus other than to connect, practice, support, and grow together.
We'll start this off as a 4-week group, meeting Wednesdays from 5:30-7pm at our Downtown clinic. If there is interest in continuing on, we'll see where it takes us!
Details
Ages: This group is open to individuals aged 19-35 years who want to work on their social skills and have deeper connections with others. We may open a group for those aged 36+ at a later date.
Dates/Times: Wednesdays at 5:30-7pm, starting October 21th.
We'd ask that all attendees please commit to attending all 4 sessions, if possible, so we can build some cohesion and consistency.
Fees: $25 per session. Note that fees for this group are payable per session, and may be eligible for reimbursement or direct billing for extended health insurers (please verify eligibility if important).
The group will be facilitated by:
Ron Depner RCC-ACS, MC

Ron is a Registered Clinical Counsellor and the Clinic Director for The Therapy Place. While he brings clinical expertise and a non-judgmental perspective to therapy, he believes the most important part of the process is simply being real. Ron values genuine connections and strives to create a space where clients can be themselves. When he's not working, you'll likely find him outdoors or spending time with his two daughters.

Sarah is in the final stages of her Masters program and is excited to help facilitate this group! She's worked for years as an Registered Nurse and has loads of life and clinical experience. She's a mom of two and she loves laughter and serious chats in equal measure.
