Jonathan Cooper LCSW has developed a unique, creative, practical, and enjoyable set of techniques to teach social competence through group participation. Participants are taught easy to remember but effective techniques to help them navigate the complexity of social situations.
All groups are lead by Jonathan Cooper. He is committed to developing the most relevant, timely, and responsive treatment . These strategies are based on group membership and parents concerns. Unlike other groups that are commercially driven and rely on external curriculum, Jonathan Cooper writes his own social skills lessons relevant to the participants in the group.
In addition to the social skills groups Mr. Cooper provides individual treatment, family therapy, and consultation to schools.
