Bloom: Teen Girls Therapy Group

Ages 15-17 | Anxiety, Friendships & Self-Esteem Support
Thursdays, February 26 – April 9 • 7:30 – 8:30 PM

Trauma-Informed Teen Therapy Group in VA, NC, MD & DC

As a parent, you see your daughter navigating intense pressures; school stress, friendship drama, family expectations, social media comparison, anxiety, and the constant weight of trying to hold it all together. You’ve noticed she’s struggling, and you want to help, but you’re not always sure how.

Bloom is a 6-week trauma-informed psycho-educational therapy group designed specifically for teen girls ages 15-17 who need a safe space to explore their emotions, connect with peers who understand, and build practical skills to navigate anxiety, depression, relationships, self-doubt, and stress.

This isn’t about fixing your daughter. It’s about creating a supportive environment where she can be honest, feel understood, and learn evidence-based tools that actually help. She’ll meet other girls her age facing similar challenges, and together, they’ll discover they’re not alone in what they’re going through.

Is This Teen Girls Therapy Group Right for Your Daughter?

Bloom is designed for teen girls ages 15-17 who are:

Navigating Anxiety & Stress

Your daughter seems overwhelmed by school, expectations, or worries that won’t quiet down. She’s tired of feeling on edge and you want to help her feel more grounded.

Struggling with Friendships

She’s dealing with friendship drama, feeling left out, or isn’t sure how to set boundaries without losing people she cares about.

Facing Pressure to Be Perfect

She’s exhausted from trying to meet everyone’s expectations – at school, at home, online. She needs to figure out who she is beyond what others want her to be.

Battling Self-Doubt

Her inner critic is loud. She compares herself to others constantly and struggles to feel good enough. She needs to build real confidence, not just fake it.

Looking for Connection

She feels alone in what she’s going through. She needs to meet other girls who understand and won’t judge her for being real.

Ready to Grow

She’s open to learning new skills, trying new perspectives, and exploring what helps her feel more like herself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be in therapy to join Bloom?

No! Bloom is open to all teen girls ages 15-17, whether you’re currently in therapy or not. The group is psycho-educational, meaning it focuses on skill-building and connection. If you’re in individual therapy, Bloom can complement that work beautifully.

What if I'm nervous about joining a group?

That’s completely normal! Many girls feel nervous at first. We spend the first session building safety and trust, so everyone can ease in at their own pace. You’re never forced to share more than you’re comfortable with.

Is the group confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality is essential to creating a safe space. What’s shared in group stays in group, with the exception of safety concerns (if someone is at risk of harm). We establish clear group agreements during the first session.

What if I can't make every session?

Consistent attendance is important for group cohesion and your personal growth. We ask that you commit to attending all 6 sessions whenever possible. If you have a conflict, please let us know in advance.

How do I know if this is the right fit for my teen?

If your teen is open to group support, struggling with anxiety, friendships, self-esteem, or stress, and ready to learn new skills, Bloom is likely a great fit. Feel free to reach out with questions, we’re happy to discuss whether the group meets your teen’s needs.

What's the cost?

Please contact us directly for pricing information. Scholarships are available, and we’re committed to ensuring financial barriers don’t prevent access to support.
