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.
