Hello, colleagues!
I wanted to share our specialized group offerings at The Therapeutic Studio for your referral consideration. Our practice provides neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, relationship-centered care, with opportunities for children, teens, adults, and families to connect through creativity, shared interests, and meaningful experiences.
Children and Teens
Elementary Social Skills Group
Led by Summer Yanosko, BCBA, this group combines relationship-centered ABA practices and sensory supports to develop friendship skills, executive functioning, emotional regulation, flexibility, and confidence in everyday interactions.
LEGO Club | Ages 9–12
A play-based group for neurodivergent children, led by Anneke Seely, MA, A-LPC/MHSP. Collaborative building creates opportunities to practice communication, cooperation, flexible thinking, and emotional regulation while connecting around a shared interest.
No Words Needed | Art Therapy for Homeschool Middle and High School Students
Led by Haley Rittenhouse, LPC-MHSP, ATR-BC, board-certified art therapist, this group offers creative ways to explore emotions, identity, sensory needs, and relationships. There is no pressure to speak, explain artwork, or have prior art experience.
Homeschool Support Group | Grades 4–7
Co-led by Allison Battles, LPC-MHSP-S, and Summer Yanosko, BCBA, this group supports executive functioning, sensory awareness, interoception, emotional regulation, and peer connection. Students also have opportunities to apply these skills during homework and independent work.
Connection | Middle and High School Students
Led by Andria Jordan-Myers, LCSW, this group uses creative activities and approaches including CBT and DBT to support healthy relationships, coping skills, emotional awareness, self-advocacy, and belonging.
Young Adults and Adults
Side Quest Club | Ages 18–21
An ongoing, low-pressure, neurodivergent-friendly group led by Allison Battles, LPC-MHSP-S. Participants bring an activity they enjoy—such as art, crochet, reading, or gaming—and connect at their own pace. All genders are welcome, and conversation is not required to participate.
Neurodivergent Adults: Community Connection Group
Led by Summer Yanosko, BCBA, this group meets at restaurants and community locations to practice communication, self-advocacy, sensory regulation, decision-making, and everyday independence. The focus is authentic connection—not masking or performing socially. Participants purchase their own meals.
Women and Parents
Tuesday Women’s Support Group
A supportive space to explore emotional wellness, boundaries, relationships, identity, grief, stress, and self-compassion through conversation, reflection, creative experiences, and therapeutic support.
Special Needs Parents Virtual Support Group | Tennessee Residents
Led by Leiah Drew-Hightower, LPC-MHSP-S, this group offers connection, encouragement, and practical strategies for navigating parenting challenges, sensory needs, and emotional dysregulation in both parents and children.
Referral information: We have offices in Franklin and Thompson’s Station, along with the virtual parent group. Please contact our team to discuss group fit, current availability, schedules, and fees. Group flyers and additional information are available on our Specialized Group Services page.
