Groups
Adolescent DBT Group
An adolescent DBT group focuses on teaching teens skills to manage emotions, improve relationships, and handle stress. It combines mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. The group provides a safe, structured space for adolescents to practice these skills through role-playing, discussions, and activities. Facilitated by trained therapists, the goal is to reduce harmful behaviors and enhance emotional resilience. Teens learn coping mechanisms for anxiety, depression, and impulsivity, while also improving communication and self-awareness. Group dynamics promote peer support and accountability, fostering a sense of connection and belonging.

DBT Parent Group
The parent DBT group helps caregivers learn skills to support their child's emotional and behavioral challenges. Focused on mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication, the group teaches parents how to model and reinforce healthy coping strategies at home. Through discussions, role-play, and shared experiences, parents gain insight into their own emotional responses and develop tools for reducing conflict, managing stress, and improving family dynamics. Facilitated by a therapist, the group fosters a supportive environment, empowering parents to better understand their child's needs and create a more stable, compassionate family environment.
