Our In-Tune™ groups cultivate skills of emotional awareness, self-compassion, and relational attunement with self and others. We focus on building the foundations of well-being through healthy habits of self-care and opportunities for authentic connection with peers.

The Center’s skilled team of therapists offer both ongoing In-Tune Groups that meet weekly during the school year, as well as frequent, shorter Group sessions. Here’s what’s coming up:
