Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - Adults 18+
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is an evidenced based treatment developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan. Combining cognitive-behavioral techniques for emotion regulation and reality testing with concepts of distress tolerance, acceptance, and mindfulness, the DBT skills group provides a supportive environment for individuals to learn and practice the skills necessary to lead a fulfilling life. Research has shown DBT to be effective in reducing suicidal behavior, non-suicidal self-injury, psychiatric hospitalization, treatment dropout, substance use, anger, and depression and improving social and global functioning. Prospective participants are required to be in individual therapy as well. In-person or telehealth.

Emotional Sobriety for Women
Women who are exploring recovery are more likely to report experiencing trauma, either before or during their active addiction, body image issues, domestic violence, and life stressors that are difficult to surmount such as under education, childcare, or financial difficulty. While these personal and interpersonal issues are not unique to women, the conversation about these experiences is. Offered via telehealth

Emotional Sobriety for Men
You’ve already overcome the biggest barrier for men exploring recovery - asking for help. So why not keep this momentum going? Men are “stoic, strong, & self-reliant,” right? The stigma (often self imposed) about sharing thoughts & feelings, asking for time away from work or family obligations, & a limited social support network, are all barriers common for men to experience during this process. And these barriers are why men have a greater risk of relapse. We work together to put words to your experience & action to your words so you can be successful in this new journey. Offered via telehealth.
