Modules include Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance and Interpersonal Effectiveness skills. DBT Group includes Homework review – this is the closest you’ll get to traditional group therapy. During this time, we discuss any progress you made with your homework and how to improve in the coming week if you didn’t complete your past week’s work. It is about support and accountability not grades. New skill development then, as a group, you’ll learn a skill within one of the four DBT modules.

Group meets in Farmington, CT 06032
We help sensitive individuals find harmony with their emotions. We ensure that clients who would typically slip through the cracks in therapy are seen, supported and have the skills they need to create meaningful change in their lives. During individual DBT therapy sessions, the therapist pays close attention to your behaviors looking for motivational concerns, including personal and environmental factors that inhibit effective behaviors (the things you want to do more) and that elicit and reinforce maladaptive behaviors (the things you want to do less).

Trauma and PTSD Support Groups
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
