OUR SPECIALITIES

Reducing the Stress in the College Application Process

The college application process has become one of the most emotionally demanding seasons a high schooler faces. At IGP, we've developed a dedicated program to support teens navigating the anxiety, perfectionism, and pressure of applying to college — while helping families stay connected through it all. Our therapists work with high school students to build the emotional resilience, self-awareness, and clarity they need to move through this process without losing themselves in it. Because who your teen becomes through this journey matters just as much as where they end up.

If your high schooler is feeling overwhelmed by the college process, we'd love to talk to you. The best outcomes happen when everyone is on the same team. We offer a free initial consultation to help you determine whether IGP is the right fit for your family.

Watch IGP’s Dr. Genzel-Derman with rocker Dave Grohl on NBC’s Today Show

Dr. Brette Genzel-Derman, with support from rocker Dave Grohl, developed a program to help kids cope with depression and anxiety through music.

Program Piloted with Dave Grohl in 2015

It all started when Dr. Genzel-Derman developed Sonic Teens in 2015, at the Child and Family Guidance Center, to facilitate healing in teens. Dr. Genzel-Derman piloted this phenomenally successful program with 15-time Grammy winning singer/songwriter and 2-time Emmy winning director, Dave Grohl (of the Foo Fighters and formerly Nirvana) who served as a mentor to the teens. Recognizing the success of this method of combining therapy, the arts and mentorship, Innovative Group Psychotherapy (IGP) was born.
