DBT Skills Group - Adults, High School (in person)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidenced-based therapy designed to treat people who experience suicidal thinking and behaviors that are disruptive such as maladaptive coping skills and self harm. Our DBT skills group emphasizes Linehan’s four core concepts to help regulate emotions and behaviors: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation and Interpersonal Effectiveness. Along with these and other skills that focus on acceptance and change, group members will learn to tolerate emotional stress that is free of judgment and urges. Group members are required to also attend individual therapy sessions in order to remain in the group.

Young Adult Psychodynamic Group (in person)
This group is intended for young adults who are seeking to learn ways to better manage any dysfunctional behaviors that are identified to interfere with their current relationships (this could be as a result of anxiety/avoidance, depression, anger, etc). The group will increase self awareness of these patterns and behavior and assist each other in learning more effective ways to relate to our relationships and thus improve our quality of life.
