Why DBT groups work?
Group therapy offers more than just learning skills—it provides connection, community, and accountability.

A supportive environment where your experiences are validated
Guidance from experienced clinicians who tailor sessions to your needs
A chance to connect with others going through similar challenges
Structured learning with take-home tools to use between sessions
Our curriculum covers the four core DBT modules.
Skills you’ll learn:
-
1. Mindfulness
Develop the ability to stay present and grounded in the current moment. Group members will learn to increase awareness of their thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and surroundings—helping them live with greater clarity and balance.
-
2. Distress Tolerance
Build skills to tolerate emotional pain and navigate crisis situations without making things worse. Learn how to accept difficult experiences and respond with resilience rather than reactivity.
-
3. Emotion Regulation
Gain tools to understand, manage, and respond to emotions like fear, sadness, anger, and anxiety. This module focuses on increasing emotional awareness, reducing vulnerability to overwhelming emotions, and fostering emotional balance.
-
4. Interpersonal Effectiveness
Learn how to communicate more effectively, set healthy boundaries, and maintain self-respect in relationships. This module helps group members build and maintain meaningful connections while navigating conflict and asserting their needs with confidence and clarity.
