DBT Skills Training

Relationships cannot thrive if emotional intensity runs too high to use effective communication.

· Affordable: No need to pay for all of the therapy upfront. We will bill your insurance for group therapy (if covered) and interest free payment plans are available.

· Powerful: People with skills deficits improve and feel better all the time!

· Fluid: It is not uncommon for those needing skills therapy to suffer from co-occurring disorders like substance abuse, anxiety, depression and unresolved trauma. DBT supports your treatments.

· Evidence-Based: DBT Skills Training for those with certain disorders or styles of personality is considered a component of evidence-based treatment.

· Cutting Edge: Successful modification for non-clinical populations of adults, couples, adolescents and even children has been reported by mental health practitioners in the field and some researchers.

Skills deficits exist in all of us. Dialectical-Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Training is an adjunctive group therapy program designed to address moderate-to-severe skills deficits in one or more of the following domains:

Mindfulness (to develop wisdom)

Interpersonal effectiveness

Emotion regulation

Crisis survival

Depending upon the requests of one’s individual therapist, Skills Training can occur 1-2x weekly for a 1-2 hour session, depending upon the population being served at that time.

Skills Training is almost always best taught in group format, so you can practice your skills and have adequate support to make lasting lifelong changes.
