David Beigel, LPC co-founded the Circle in the Square Group Program for children and adolescents  (originally the Boys Group Program) with David Flohr, PhD in 1990 in order to meet the need for relationship-based psychotherapy/counseling groups for children and adolescents in our community.  We have been actively involved in providing this type of developmental support to boys and girls from 5-19 years old since that time.
