“After participating in S Groups’ peer group sessions with Katie, I noticed significant improvements in my social skills within 2-3 months. I gained more self-confidence, improved my self-esteem, and became more independent. I also enhanced my ability to enter and exit conversations, find sources of friends, and use humor appropriately. Additionally, I developed strategies for managing stress and anxiety, handling rejection, dealing with rumors, and maintaining a healthy internal dialogue. The structured curriculum, homework assignments, and personal connection with the therapist were especially beneficial. S Groups helped me analyze social situations more effectively, manage regret, and stay composed in social interactions. Overall, I feel more confident in myself and in seeking new social opportunities.”
