Why You're Here

You or your loved one may feel anxious in conversations, unsure how to connect, or frustrated that friendships and dating never seem to “click.”

You’re smart, capable, and caring. But social situations feel unpredictable or draining.

That’s not a flaw, it’s a skill gap. And like any skill, social confidence can be learned.

At S Groups, we teach the proven steps that help people build confidence, make real friends, manage social anxiety, and feel more comfortable in everyday life.

Imagine This Instead

The Results Our Clients See

  • Joining conversations without overthinking
  • Making and keeping genuine friendships
  • Handling awkward moments or disagreements calmly
  • Reading the room and feeling confident in what to say
  • Enjoying social situations without anxiety

This isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about stepping into your full social self—comfortable, competent, connected.

Why S Groups Works

We combine evidence-based programs with real-world practice and a deep understanding of neurodiversity.

Evidence-based curriculum:

We use programs like PEERS®, CBT, and ACT to teach proven social skills, and how to manage and cope with social anxiety.

Personalized Plan

Every client begins with a $99 intake to assess strengths, challenges, and goals.

Expert Support

All sessions are led by therapists trained in psychology, social work, behavior analysis, and related fields. All S Groups therapists are PEERS® certified providers.

What Happens After The Intake?

Every client starts with a $99 Intake Assessment, a 60-minute session where we learn about your goals and create your personalized path forward. The personalized plan will include peer groups, private coaching, or sometimes both.

Peer Groups

Small, therapist-led sessions where you practice social skills in real time with peers who understand you.

  • Weekly groups with 6–8 members
  • Role-play newly learned skills and live feedback
  • Great for building friendship skills and reducing social anxiety

Private Coaching

One-on-one sessions tailored to your pace, goals, and comfort level.

  • Fully customized plan
  • Learn and grow privately with a therapist
  • Ideal for individuals who prefer more personal attention or want to start slow

Both paths start with your intake, where we make recommendations for specific groups and/or private coaches.
