with Heredia Therapy Group
Humans are hardwired for connection – but learning to connect can sometimes be tricky!
That’s why Heredia Therapy Group offers specialized social skills groups for youth and young adults from all over the City of Industry and Downey area.
We believe that everyone deserves a chance to learn social and relational skills, and we want to help make that happen. Our therapists and assistants provide a safe, judgment-free space for children and young adults to learn, interact, and grow together.
If you are already interested and ready to sign up, contact us today! Read on to learn more about our social skills groups and how they can help.


Is your child or young adult struggling with making or keeping friends? Do they have difficulty with conversation, expressing their needs, or cooperating with others? Have you noticed any signs of bullying or peer rejection? Are you feeling lost, overwhelmed, or unsure how to help?
If so, we are here for you!
We want to make space for everyone to learn social skills, but our groups are currently open for children (ages 4 and up) and young adults (up to 22 years old).
Each participant is grouped based on age, language and developmental needs, and social goals. Many of our participants are autistic or have a previous diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, which features developmental differences and difficulty learning social skills. However, we also work with participants who might struggle with social anxiety, bullying, friendlessness, disobedience, emotional outbursts, and more.
We take pride in hosting social skills groups that feel safe, judgment-free, and fun. Our team here at Heredia Therapy Group continually feels inspired by the success stories of kids and young adults who learn to overcome social difficulty and reach their true potential. No matter how difficult things might seem, we can help.
Social skills groups are all about helping kids and young adults learn essential relational skills, such as conversation and reading body language. Participants meet together as a group with a team of therapists and assistants who provide education, facilitate activities, and attend to participant needs. Each group meets on a weekly basis for one 90 minutes session, which we have found provides an optimal challenge and opportunity for learning without placing too much demand on participant attention.
