We provide two services: Standard DBT (Individual DBT Therapy, Group Skills Training, Phone Coaching, and Therapist DBT Consultation Team) and Group Skills Training Only (for clients with an individual therapist). Four Adult DBT Group times are offered. DBT is a research-supported treatment for people with emotion regulation difficulties. This is a supportive group structured like an academic class to learn skills to help regulate emotions, reduce suffering, increase happiness, and change ineffective behavior patterns. The skills have 4 modules: Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. Learn more on our web site.
