DBT Skills for Parents groups are for family members of clients participating in our DBT Skills Groups, and a required component of Castlebrook's DBT Skills Groups for Adolescents. We also welcome parents of teens, young adults, and adults who are not currently attending one of our DBT Skills Groups, or are not even in therapy but struggle with challenging emotions and behaviors. In this 12-Week series, members will learn core foundational concepts of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, how high-sensitivity individuals process interactions differently, and ways to coach skills usage at home.

DBT is a specialized treatment protocol that addresses problematic behaviors that individuals have developed to cope with overwhelming emotions. Some of these behaviors may be self-injury, suicidal thoughts/behaviors, substance use, sudden and intense anger, and difficulty in relationships. DBT combines unconditional validation of an individual's emotional experience while teaching concrete strategies to manage intense emotions effectively and build "a life worth living." Our full DBT programs include DBT Skills Groups, DBT Individual Therapy, Skills Coaching for Parents, and in-the-moment coaching. We also accept referrals for our DBT Skills Group as adjunct to traditional therapy.
