I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been providing counseling and therapy services to youth and their families for over 40 years. While I do see adults in psychotherapy as part of my private practice, I primarily work with older children, adolescents, and young adults, and their families. I have extensive experience with the range of problems and issues that youth encounter, including anxiety, depression, impulsivity, excessive anger, self-esteem erosion, and relational difficulties, and have a particular expertise in working with youth who present with neuro-diversity and learning struggles.
I also have considerable expertise in working with adolescents in group therapy, and currently am conducting two ongoing, mixed gender, mixed problem presentation, therapy groups for high school aged clients. I am a Fellow in the American Group Psychotherapy Association, and national co-chair of the AGPA Child and Adolescent Special Interest Group.
Additionally I am a clinical supervisor at Benchmark School in Media, PA, and am part of the faculty at the Bryn Mawr College Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research; I teach courses on clinical work with children and adolescents, group treatment, and social work in school settings. Finally, I am on the board of the PAGPS.

Groups

Group Therapy for High School Aged Adolescents

Thomas K Hurster
Hosted by
Thomas K Hurster

I conduct two ongoing (open ended) groups for high school aged adolescents; pre-screening interview required. The groups are mixed gender and have by design, different problem profiles within the group. I believe we can learn a lot about ourselves by being with people who are different from us, as well as from people who have similar problems. The average length of participation is two years, but members only initially agree to trying five sessions. The atmosphere is one of warm acceptance, non-judgmental and caring feedback, and support, with a primary focus on relationship issues.
