Group Therapy

Building Social Skills and Peer Connections

In group therapy, students learn that growth happens through connection. As they share experiences and practice new skills together, they gain confidence and start showing the same empathy and leadership beyond the group room.

Group therapy at Logos gives students a safe, supportive space to build social, emotional, and problem-solving skills. Led by licensed therapists in small groups twice a week, sessions are tailored to each student and reinforced throughout the school day through collaboration with teachers and families.

Participate in small, structured groups focused on social-emotional learning, communication, and problem-solving
Engage in interactive activities that address real-world challenges
Collaborate with teachers to reinforce skills during class and activities

How Group Therapy Helps

Integration with Daily School Life

Skills-Based Groups

Most students begin in skills-based groups, designed to address challenges such as conflict, anger, and emotional regulation.

The objective is for students to learn healthier, more constructive ways to handle these challenges. Topics change each term, and recent sessions have included:

Interpersonal effectiveness
Emotional regulation
Distress tolerance
Mindfulness
Anger Management

Leadership & Transition Groups

Once students demonstrate success in skills-based groups, they may transition to Leadership/Transition groups.

These groups focus on leadership development, mentoring peers, preparing for life beyond Logos, and strengthening individual identity. Students in these groups may:

Serve as ambassadors for new or prospective students
Develop and implement special projects
Promote a safe, supportive school community
Prepare for leadership roles both within and beyond the school

Middle School Groups

Middle school students at Logos participate in structured group sessions designed to help them build social skills, manage emotions, and navigate challenges in a supportive environment.

During group therapy, students may:

Participate in skills-based groups focused on conflict resolution, anger management, and emotional regulation
Learn and practice strategies for interpersonal effectiveness, mindfulness, and distress tolerance
Collaborate with peers and staff to apply coping skills in real-world situations and strengthen their sense of belonging
