Social Skills Training for Children, Teens, and Adults

“Our social skills services for children, adolescents, and adults are based on the premise that social skills (e.g. communication skills, active listening, friend-making, reading non-verbal social cues, networking abilities) are essential life skills that foster success, happiness, and health. Our goal is to teach these skills in a supportive and nurturing environment, with the expectation that the skills will be generalized to real-world experiences and relationships.”
– Dr. Haley

My son participated in a social skills group for 3 months and loved it! He really likes the other kids.

Thank you, Dr. Haley. Evan looks so forward to the group every week. He is the one that reminds me it’s group time. He grabs the laptop and logs in on his own.

We really like Dr. Haley. Unlike other therapists, he teaches skills that are so important instead of just sitting there and listening. We are soon going to have our younger son be in a group too.

I really can’t say enough about Dr. Haley and the social skills program. We had an overall excellent experience and would definitely refer our friends here.

I was in one of the adult groups at Oakton. We worked on my confidence and social skills so I could interview better for a job. I am now working full time and doing very well. The only problem is I had to stop the group because it is during the hours I work!

Ways The Social Skills Center Helps

Decrease Anxiety

In our individual and group social skills coaching sessions, we teach children, adolescents and adults how to relax and “settle,” so that they can have more effective responses to the people and situations they face every day.

Improve Self-Esteem

Instead of feeling shame, embarrassment, or anxiety in social situations, our coaching clients learn how to be confident with others. Our classes act as a kind of social anxiety therapy and we regularly teach passive clients how to be assertive.

Communicate Clearly

In our online social skills training program, clients get to practice with their peers and learn by doing, rather than trying to “regurgitate” statements they learned in a book or heard someone else say.

Resolve Conflicts

Most people don’t realize that conflicts can be a “win-win” for both parties involved. At our online social skills training programs, kids, teens, and adults learn how to see another’s point of view, leading to greater understanding and empathy.
