You CAN Sit With Us: Group Therapy for Teen Girls in West Bloomfield, MI
Picture This:
You’re sitting in your room mindlessly scrolling on Instagram. Then, you come across a post from one of your “friends” who posted a photo of her and some of your other friends together. Hanging out…without you…
Your anxiety starts to escalate, and your mind begins to overthink; “Why wasn’t I invited? Are they mad at me? Did I do something wrong? Do they not like me anymore? Are we not friends and they aren’t inviting me to hang out? Aaaahhhh!!!”

One in four girls today will fall into a clinical diagnosis such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-harm, and other mental/emotional disorders according to Steven Hinshaw’s “The Triple Bind”, On top of these, many will report being constantly anxious, sleep-deprived, and under significant pressure.
Anxiety-related disorders in teenagers have been on the rise for the last decade, particularly in teen girls. What’s changed in the last decade? A lot! From hyperconnectivity to technology to amplified external pressures to even being more open and aware about mental health concerns. While we know that anxiety is a normal and healthy function (*think fight or flight response) for many teens today it can be crippling and a sign that they need more support and help to cope with the stressors in their life. We know that avoidance feeds anxiety. When teens avoid a situation, they miss the opportunity to correct that perception and recognize their own strength.

So, what can WE do about all of this?
Given the statistics that 75% of teen girls with low self-esteem reported engaging in negative activities such as self-harming, bullying, smoking, drinking, or disordered eating, we know that they are not alone. Having a safe, non-judgmental space to openly discuss these issues can greatly improve one’s mental health and develop positive and healthy coping skills.
