Shaping Brilliant Minds

Shaping Brilliant Minds is a social and emotional skills development group designed to provide a comprehensive approach to helping children ages 4-10 build essential social, emotional, and behavioral skills. The program focuses on fostering confidence, empathy, and self-regulation, equipping children to navigate their relationships and daily challenges with resilience and understanding. With a mix of group interaction and individualized therapy, this program ensures each child receives the personalized support they need to thrive.

The group will meet in small cohorts (capped at six children) for 12 sessions. This intimate setting allows for a safe and engaging environment where children can practice their skills with peers. Children will also have access to one-on-one therapy sessions with a therapist to reinforce the skills they are learning in the group setting. This combination of group and individual attention ensures your child has a well-rounded experience to support growth in every area, addressing both unique needs and shared challenges.
