Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a powerful therapy for individuals who have trouble regulating emotions & behaviors.

We focus on 4 skills modules: 1) Mindfulness, 2) Distress Tolerance, 3) Emotion Regulation, & 4) Interpersonal Effectiveness. Our Intermediate & Advanced groups integrate didactic skills training with a psychodynamic group process, helping clients utilize existing skill-based knowledge in current life situations. Our next group launches Spring 2026.

Virtual Men's Group (PA, NJ, DE)

Hosted by

Dr. Christopher G. Deussing

Many men tend to suppress their more vulnerable selves in daily life. However, being able to open up among peers & "say everything" can help increase emotional resiliency. This emotional resilience -- the capacity to feel disappointment, hurt, ambivalence, frustration, failure, impulses, etc. ... & still effectively work, love, & play -- is crucial for personal maturation. This 12-week men's group will catalyze the development of emotional resilience by helping participants feel more comfortable being self-aware & expressive in a safe therapeutic setting. Lastly, this group will expand participants' toolboxes of mindfulness & interpersonal skills. The next men's group will launch Spring 2026.
