Groups
DBT Skills
This telehealth group covers the four modules of DBT skills: Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance. Each group begins with a mindfulness practice, and includes review of skills practiced during the previous week, teaching of new skills, and assignment for weekly practice. Group members agree to practice skills outside session, support one another in skills use, and make a minimum commitment of 6 months. Group members must have an individual therapist, but do not need to be in individual DBT.
Group Meets
Interpersonal Group
This telehealth group supports members in learning about themselves and their patterns in relationships. Group is unstructured and focuses on process. Group members work to speak clearly and directly to one another about their thoughts and feelings about themselves and each other in real time. This group is appropriate for anyone wanting to work on increasing their understanding of themselves and their relationships, deepening connections, addressing old patterns, and finding new, more effective, and fulfilling ways of relating. Group members are asked to commit to regular attendance for a minimum of six months and must have an established individual therapist.
