Improv for Anxious Minds

Adult Group Therapy

Each group will have a limit to 8 participants

This group is a collaboration of group therapy and improv to enhance participants knowledge and develop new skills to manage their anxiety. This therapeutic improv group is unique as co-facilitators, Jaclyn (LCPC) and Barbara (LCSW) are both clinically licensed therapists and each have a background in creative arts and/or performance. The history shared between them grants flexibility and creativity to improvise each group not based on improv games but rather what is coming up in sessions. EMC believes that therapeutic interventions and skills are best received when we are meeting our clients where they are in the present moment. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are the primary interventions and skills used within this space.
