Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Services

Adolescent DBT Skills Group (Ages 12-18)

Our Adolescent DBT Skills Group is a cornerstone of our therapeutic services, offering a supportive and educational environment where teens learn and practice the core DBT skills: Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance and Walking the Middle Path.

Through a combination of didactic teaching and experiential activities, group members gain a deep understanding of these skills, applying them to everyday situations to improve their quality of life and relationships. Our program also includes process time, allowing participants to discuss real-life experiences and receive feedback in a supportive group setting.

Young Adult DBT Skills Group (Ages 19-27)

This group meets weekly and teaches young adults the five DBT skills: Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance and Walking the Middle Path. We utilize a combination of didactic and experiential learning to help group members gain a solid understanding of these skills. Through this, young adults will learn how to increase their ability to cope with intense emotions, be more effective in their communication with family and peers, increase awareness and focus, and replace impulsive behaviors with skillful behaviors. We also provide process time to relate these skills to real life experiences.
