The Vecchio Group

The Vecchio Group is an experienced group of doctors, united to aid in positive lifestyle changes, and provide measurable life-changing improvements.

The Vecchio Group is committed to being a local and international source of help in the communities and demographics that it serves to create lasting positive habits and improved life outcomes!

Our primary intervention is through individual and group therapy. The opportunity to build on social and relational skills in group therapy sessions is enormous.

We also offer our Art For The Heart © program, for individual family coaching and training in our system and programs. Groups meet weekly for an hour in person or through Zoom for those who have travel or health concerns. Art group projects have included acrylic painting on canvas, watercolors, drawing, decoupage, beading and incorporated music, photography and poetry. Previous groups have been resoundingly successful (with a high return rate) and provided measurable benefits to clients with improvements in socialization skills, executive functioning, self-awareness, creativity, self-confidence, and improvement in other problematic symptoms. Visit the Art For The Heart Foundation website for more details.
