Dialectical Behavior Therapy- Adolescents (DBT-A)
DBT-A is an evidence based therapy for teens struggling with non-suicidal self-injury, suicide attempts, impulsive behaviors, labile moods and unstable interpersonal relationships. We have adapted the treatment to provide a separate parent training skills group to address the myriad of questions and challenges parents face when their children are in crisis. At the same time, teens will receive targeted DBT skills training separate from their parents to assist in developing skills to regulate intense emotions and end problematic and life threatening behaviors. This adapted form of DBT-A will be provided in 1 hour sessions over 16 weeks.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy- Skills Training Only
DBT Skills Training Only is a standalone option for those interested in learning DBT skills who do not meet the requirements for the comprehensive program. You may benefit from this option if you are currently seeing a mental health provider and struggle with the following: regulating and expressing emotions, tolerating distress, and maintaining relationships. There are 4 modules reviewed in 24 weeks: mindfulness (present moment awareness), emotion regulation (understanding and changing emotions), distress tolerance (surviving crises and “riding out” intense emotions), and interpersonal effectiveness (enhancing communication). DBT Skills Training Only requires weekly attendance.
