DBT Skills Group
DBT Skills Training is a didactic psycho-educational group where individuals learn specific and concrete skills that cover four areas: Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. These skills are taught to help individuals learn to manage difficult emotions, reduce emotions that lead to destructive behavior, challenge cognitions and improve relationships while supporting goals to creating a meaningful life. We offer DBT SKILLS Group for adolescents and their families (in person, in our office in Madison) as well as DBT Skills Training for Young Adults, virtually.
