As you may or may not already know, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers some of the world’s best coping skills all in one place. The group therapy format is divided into modules for Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness – with Mindfulness integrated throughout.
What is DBT Group Therapy?
DBT group therapy gives you tools to improve emotional intelligence and assists you in dealing effectively with previously challenging situations. DBT skills improve emotional resiliency and seek to eliminate self-defeating behaviors. This group therapy is more about educating you in skills and less about processing emotions, though we do check-ins about the past week at the beginning of each session, to help go over what worked and what did not.
Dialectical-Behavior Therapy is one of the most empirically researched therapy modalities for treating people who suffer from significant emotional dysregulation and prolonged relationship difficulties. First conceived in the 1980s, DBT was systematically designed to help people build concrete, practical skills for mindful self-awareness, emotional development, stress management, and the cultivation of a baseline of well-being.

Technology-assisted for your convenience:
We use apps for diary cards, distribute worksheets as PDF files, project materials on a screen during the group, and encourage the use of tablets and laptops. Feedback from veterans of other DBT groups indicates that integrating DBT reminders and tracking into existing daily technology use is helpful and convenient.
