Groups
DBT Group for Teens
This DBT skills group offers a supportive, structured space for teens and young adults to build practical tools for managing emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving communication. Each session combines psychoeducation, guided practice, and real-life application of DBT’s core modules: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. Members learn to stay present, navigate strong feelings, set boundaries, express needs effectively, and cope with stress in healthier ways. Sessions include discussion, brief mindfulness exercises, and interactive activities. No prior DBT experience is needed—just openness to learning and practicing new skills.
