DBT Skills for Teens
Today's teens face immense pressure, leading to anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. My specialized DBT group sessions equip teens with vital, practical skills for daily life. We focus on: 1) Mindfulness (deep breathing, body scans) to manage intense emotions and increase self-awareness. 2) Distress Tolerance strategies to handle crises without impulsive reactions, fostering resilience. 3) Emotional Regulation to identify and control feelings, improving coping mechanisms for anxiety and depression. 4) Interpersonal Effectiveness skills to communicate assertively, set healthy boundaries, and maintain strong relationships. These evidence-based tools empower teens to navigate emotional challenges and truly thrive.

DBT Skills for Adults
DBT skills groups are ideal for individuals looking to build resilience, enhance emotional intelligence, and improve their quality of life, whether managing BPD symptoms or general stress. They function as interactive classes rather than traditional therapy, focused on practical learning and real-world application. The program is structured into four core modules—Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Emotional Regulation—to equip you with tools to handle life's challenges effectively. Each module lasts 8–10 weeks to allow deep study. A DBT-LBC™ certified clinician leads the online, goal-oriented sessions in a safe, inclusive space.

DBT Multifamily Skills Group
Uniquely designed for adolescents (ages 13–18) and at least one parent to participate in together. Run like a collaborative class—not traditional therapy—the group teaches and practices essential DBT skills, creating a supportive environment for the entire family. The group covers four core modules—Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Emotional Regulation—plus a fifth, family-specific module: Walking the Middle Path. This holistic approach focuses on reducing conflict, fostering better communication, and encouraging empathy. It's an opportunity for both teens and parents to build essential life skills and strengthen their relationships as they navigate challenges together.
