The Koch Center offers Dialectical Therapy (DBT) Programs in Montclair and Waldwick for Adults and Adolescents. DBT teaches skills that help the individual identify and cope with distressing thoughts and feelings. Often, these feelings have been interfering with the individual's ability to function and enjoy life. Our DBT Skills Groups foster the capacity to experience a full emotional life without becoming overwhelmed or overwhelming others. Skills are practiced using exercises such as completing homework and diary cards and recording thoughts and behaviors. We have daytime and evening groups that run throughout the week. Check our website for current schedule.

The Koch Center's Trauma Program is a one-night per week (Tuesdays 6-8:45pm) group-based outpatient program that incorporates mindfulness, body-focused therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and a Seeking Safety Trauma Protocol.

This research cites that the most effective trauma treatment integrates neuroscience and body-based therapies.
