Social Skills Development for Children and Teens

Children and teens often face social challenges as they grow—whether it’s making friends, understanding social cues, or managing peer conflict. For those with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, or social anxiety, these difficulties can be even more pronounced.

At Restoration in the Pines Counseling & Wellness, we help young clients build the foundational skills they need to connect with others. Through interactive activities, role-playing, and evidence-based interventions, we teach communication, empathy, and problem-solving in a way that’s engaging and age-appropriate. Parents are also included in the process to support continued growth at home and in school.

Social Skills Development for Adults

Social struggles aren’t limited to childhood. Many adults face difficulties with communication, setting boundaries, or navigating relationships—whether in the workplace, in friendships, or at home. Our adult social skills therapy focuses on helping you build confidence, enhance emotional intelligence, and improve interpersonal effectiveness. Whether you’re looking to overcome social anxiety, strengthen your professional presence, or improve your personal relationships, we provide practical tools in a judgment-free, supportive environment.
