Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): a highly specialized form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) designed to help people with difficulties managing their emotions. In group, clients learn skills for better management of emotions, relationships, distress and focusing on the present moment. In conjunction with the group, clients in DBT attend once weekly individual therapy that is focused on applying the skills to their particular problems and goals. If a client has an existing individual therapist, the client would continue with their existing therapist, and we would collaborate on the skills.

The primary function of process groups is the improvement of relationships. The group becomes a microcosm of each members outside life as they relate to others. Members have a safe environment in which they can learn skills, practice those skills, and receive feedback. Individual group members gain new insight into understanding one's own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by looking at relationship patterns both inside and outside the group.

Unlocking the accomplishment is a hybrid DBT/Process group is for those individuals that would benefit from some DBT tools with a lower level of care. DBT (and CBT) tools are presented systematically and in the context of a process group. This groups would benefit individuals addressing relational issues, anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, anger, and a variety of other issues.
