Event Info
Smart & Savvy Skills & Support for Girls and Female-Identified Teens This Summer in Walnut Creek
Licensed psychologist Dr. Loraine Van Tuyl is bringing together small in-person groups of girls and female-identified teens for genuine connection, validation, sharing, art and journaling, self reflection, and calm centering. If your teen feels left out, or unsure of themselves due to fluctuating mood swings or social pressures, this group offers a safe space where true self, feelings, and individual needs are celebrated and supported. In fun and creative ways, teens will learn more about themselves and practical guidance on how to handle challenges they’re struggling with.
Monday (ages 11-14) and Tuesday (ages 14-17) evenings 6:30-8 pm, Jul 7- Aug 5. Early bird $375 for 5 sessions. Learn more & register directly at https://bit.ly/3FHAmOm or set up a 30 min consult with Dr. Van Tuyl to help decide if group will meet needs.
