Group Therapy
PCS provides a wide range of therapeutic and psycho-educational groups. All groups are open and ongoing, allowing clients to begin and end as their therapy process demands. We believe group therapy encourages clients to share their stories with others in a safe context. This is an excellent way to address shame issues. In addition, PCS offers groups designed to address specific issues. To sign up for a group, call 480 947-5739.
