Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Groups
Learn the skills to build a life worth living.
What is a DBT Skills Group?
A DBT Skills Group is different from traditional group therapy.
Rather than focusing primarily on processing personal experiences, DBT Skills Groups function much like a class. Together, we'll learn, practice, and apply evidence-based skills that promote emotional resilience and long-term well-being.

Participants are encouraged to practice skills between sessions and discuss how they worked in real-life situations.
