Social Skills Groups
From missed cues to social wins—Our social skills groups help your child have less “oops” and more “oh yeah, I got this.”
Let’s face it—making friends, sharing space, and figuring out what to say (and when not to say it) can be tricky! That’s where our social skills group therapy comes in. We create a fun, low-pressure environment where kids and teens can practice real-world social skills with real-life peers—no flashcards, just games, laughter, and plenty of do-overs. Whether your child tends to talk non-stop or freezes up in groups, we help them build confidence, connection, and the kind of social smarts that don’t come from a textbook. It’s support with heart—and a little humor too—because social growth should feel encouraging, not intimidating. Even the smartest kids need help navigating the playground politics!
Our social skills group therapy is where kids and teens learn how to connect, communicate, and collaborate—all in a fun, supportive setting. Through games, role-play, and a little bit of structured silliness, we help them practice everything from making eye contact to handling tricky social moments. Whether it’s learning how to join a group, manage frustration, or just not talk about Minecraft for 20 straight minutes, we’re here to guide them. It’s real-life practice with real-life peers—because social skills are best learned in action, not in isolation.
At The Center for Social Success, our unique social skills group therapy offers a safe and encouraging space where your child can build connection, confidence, and communication skills alongside peers. Led by experienced therapists, these sessions are designed for children aged 3-18 to develop and practice real-life interactions in a way that’s fun, supportive, and empowering!

Our social skills groups utilize real-time group activities, such as games, activities, or play, allowing participants to practice and generalize freshly acquired skills with other group members. During the practice time, therapists intervene as necessary to help guide the child, promote pro-social behaviors, and engage in appropriate social interactions. Our social skills groups are a place where kids learn to talk, listen, and not interrupt with random dinosaur facts.
