Teen DBT Creative Arts Group
Is your teen struggling with overwhelming emotions, impulsive decisions, or conflict at home or school? This summer, help them build life-long skills and strengthen your connection along the way. We will cover a "DBT buffet" of skills, each paired with an art activity (sculpting, painting, collage). All are welcome, no artistic experience necessary. This group is ideal for teens experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional intensity, self-destructive behaviors, or interpersonal conflict. Enrollment also includes four FREE educational group sessions for caregivers covering an overview of the skills their teens have learned and additional DBT parenting skills.

DBT Skills Group (In Person)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment that helps individuals live more in the moment, better manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive behavior, and improve their relationships. In this group, we will learn skills from the modules of DBT: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Participants commit to joining eight weeks at a time and the full program is 24 weeks. The group is held in person in our Ashburn office on Tuesdays from 6:00pm-7:30pm. Our next module (Emotion Regulation) will start on February 4th. *A reduced fee is available based on income.*

Rethinking Your Drinking
Participants will explore their motivation to change and the role alcohol plays in living by their personal values; assess what kind of changes might be appropriate for their individual situation; learn about the impacts of alcohol on the body and mind, and options to implement and maintain changes (including, abstinence, moderation, and harm-reduction); and practice relapse prevention skills, coping with urges, and implementing change plans. The group will meet in-person at the Ashburn office for one hour on Mondays. Sessions will consist of psychoeducation on a different topic each week, activities, assessments, and group discussion.
