LGBTQ+ Skills Group

Hosted by

William Kuo

LGBTQ+ people often face significant and unique stress that can be difficult to manage. This 90-minute DBT skills group is specifically geared towards people who identify as LGBTQ+ and teaches skills that will help group members improve their ability to cope, to communicate clearly, and to control their thoughts and behaviors. Skills are taught in an educational group format, much like a classroom setting. We welcome LGBTQ clients who are interested only in participating in this group, but all group members must also have an individual therapist even if that therapist is not at our practice
