The core components of RO-DBT are (1) Individual Therapy (2) Skills Class and (3) Phone Coaching. Treatment starts by observing three core components of emotional well-being: openness to feedback, even when this is challenging; flexibility in our responses to changing environmental demands; and communication of our emotions, with awareness that expressing emotion is crucial when forming close interpersonal bonds.

Sports are supposed to be fun but pressure, anxiety, and exhaustion can take over. This group therapy program supports teens who feel overwhelmed by practices, competition, expectations, or fear of letting others down. In this supportive group setting, teens learn skills to manage anxiety, cope with stress and fatigue, build confidence, and reconnect with why they play. Group sessions offer a space to feel understood, reduce isolation, and develop healthier ways to handle both wins and setbacks on and off the field.

Many young athletes silently struggle with perfectionism, pressure to perform, burnout, and a fear of not being “enough”—on or off the field? While sports can build confidence and discipline, they can also create stress that impacts identity, mood, and self-worth. This group is designed to support young athletes in building resilience, emotional awareness, and a healthy mindset. Through process-oriented conversations and skills-based tools, we’ll focus on self-compassion, identity beyond athletics, and strategies for managing pressure. All genders/sports backgrounds welcome. 15-week virtual group designed to create a strong sense of connection and support.
