Social Skills Therapy
Our goal is to teach social skills in a supportive and nurturing environment using therapy.
The Social Skills Center is here to help you or your child with social skills.
Social skills therapy helps with the following:
- Struggling with communication
- Listening
- Making friends
- Missing social-cues
- Or some other social skill
Gaining these essential life skills will foster success, happiness, and health.

WE ARE PROVIDERS FOR SOME HEALTH INSURANCES!
Here is how it works
FREE 15-minute Phone/Zoom Consultation with Dr. Haley
This FREE consultation is to learn about you or your child’s current situation and needs. Options will be discussed and a coaching plan will then be developed for future online appointments.
Session One: 50-minute intake appointment. ($175)
This FREE consultation is to learn about you or your child’s current situation and needs. Options will be discussed and a coaching plan will then be developed for future online appointments.
Session Two & Three:
50-minute sessions. ($150)
Individual sessions are scheduled to develop a positive relationship with the client, determine social strengths and areas of needed growth, and assess for the best group match.
Start the group! Each
50-minute Social Skills group is $75
If the group member is a minor, we will also schedule regular “parent meetings” with his or her parent(s). The purpose of a parent meeting is to get updates on how the child is functioning in the “real world,” discuss how the child is doing in group, sharing parenting techniques to help reinforce skills taught in the group, and plan goals for future groups.
Feeling connected with others can also facilitate:
Lower rates of anxiety and depression
Greater Empathy for Others
Success in One's Career
Higher Self-Esteem
Being Supported and Valued by Those Around You
Better Family Relationships
Who is appropriate for our online services?
Anyone who is 8 years-old or older, including adults. We have found that therapy sessions with kids 7 and under are less productive. If your child is 7 or under, we prefer to meet with the parent(s) directly and focus on parenting techniques to enhance your child’s social skills. We also have several clients who are adults and older-adults as well.
For those interested in group, our participants must have the ability to listen and settle for the duration of the group. Unfortunately, those that are unable to do this become a distraction for the other group members and take away from the group process. Soon we will be starting online groups that focus specifically on listening and settling skills. So, please contact us anyway if your child falls into this category.
