Group Therapy in Morris County

Group therapy services:
A number of small groups are available to address the special needs of our Individual and Family Counseling Center of Morristown's clients: Potential group members require an individual assessment/screening prior to enrollment. Group therapy may be combined with individual counseling when indicated.

*All groups require a minimum numbers of participants. All groups are scheduled during evening hours.

  • Social skills/Socialization group: A group designed to help participants to acquire interpersonal relationship skills. The group provides the participants with an opportunity to interact with others and learn through practice effective interactive communication skills. The friendly spirit of the group helps members to overcome shyness and anxiety associated with social situations. This is a time limited group in which practice of social interaction is encouraged in a supportive environment. The group leaders model how to manage various common social situations and provide personal coaching to participants. “Homework” assignments ensure that participants practice social skills between group sessions.
  • Sober Living: This group is geared to support individuals in early recovery. The goal of the group is to identify and re-enforce lifestyle changes that result in sober living and improved quality of life. The group meets weekly. Participants are likely to have detox and substance abuse treatment history, i.e., day treatment programs, intensive outpatient services, inpatient detox, etc..
Participants will be assessed and screened prior to enrollment and the individual lifestyle changes will be outlined with each person.
  • Recovery 101: This group is aimed at increasing the knowledge base about the many factors involved in sobriety and recovery from chemical dependency. The group provides ongoing support to members who are beginning to assume a sober lifestyle. The group is conducted as an educational workshop and participants are encouraged to learn and share their knowledge about recovery with each other. Group facilitators provide educational information about recovery and wellness. Members interested in continuing their recovery/ sobriety maintenance efforts can be referred to local fellowship meetings (12 steps groups) throughout North New Jersey.
  • “Quit and stay quit group”: If you tried quit smoking repeatedly with little success, it’s not because you fail. It is because Nicotine is a powerful addictive drug that even will power cannot defeat. This is why our certified clinical staff trained specifically in Tobacco Treatment will support your quit efforts with NRT (Nicotine Replacement Therapy) as well as individual and group treatment approaches. A comprehensive Nicotine assessment in conjunction with medical consult will ensure optimal individualized treatment that is tailored per the amount of cigarettes per day you smoke. The group counseling provided at the Center is aimed to provide you with peer support with the sole goal of quitting and staying quit!
