Expressive arts and relational therapy can be an outlet to expressing emotions and building a deeper connection to ourselves. This process can be particularly beneficial for teens who are working through differences, such an exploring identity, or dealing with chronic pain or chronic illness. Somatic therapy can help teens feel more embodied with who they are in the world. https://www.therisewellnesscenter.com/groups daily 0.75 2024-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efe321c1846d44d42de57b3/1632670910253-M2SVWEZL87W6TKAD267P/priscilla-du-preez-nF8xhLMmg0c-unsplash.jpg Groups Rise Wellness Center offers group counseling opportunities for children and adults in Colorado.
