Adult DBT Skills Group

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training is a weekly group, run like a class, that teaches skills across four main topics: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance skills. Clients are given homework assignments in which they practice the skills taught during the weekly lesson. In a DBT skills group, clients will learn and practice DBT tools to improve their ability to problem solve, cope with crisis, manage interpersonal conflicts, and set and achieve goals in various areas of their lives. DBT has been shown to be an effective treatment for a number of issues including anxiety, depression, addiction, impulsivity, and relationship problems.
