Adolescence can be a confusing time for young men, especially as ideas of masculinity continue to shift and evolve. This group offers teen boys a supportive space to explore identity, authenticity, and belonging. By connecting with peers, they can ease feelings of disconnection and openly share the challenges of growing up male today.
**
Too often, when emotions go unexpressed, teen boys retreat inward — turning to online spaces, self-criticism, or anger. Research shows that young men in the U.S. report significantly higher rates of loneliness than any other group. This group is designed to counter that trend by offering hope, community, and a safe place to explore their feelings alongside others who understand.

Each session will begin with a short prompt (such as an article or clip) to spark reflection, but the real emphasis will be on the inner world of participants as they navigate adolescence. Over the course of the program, every member will also have a chance to open a discussion by sharing for 2–3 minutes about whatever is on their mind that relates to the group’s themes. These small acts of vulnerability can become catalysts for deeper connection among peers.

As a humanistic, person-centered therapist, Toph is committed to creating a space where participants feel free to challenge limiting societal expectations and discover more authentic versions of themselves. This group offers a space for honest conversations, genuine connection, and personal growth.
