DBT Skills Group for Teens

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is an evidence based approach to treating out-of-control behaviors like impulsivity, suicidal ideation & attempts, self-harm, eating disorders, substance abuse & addiction. DBT considers the primary problem to be a combination of emotional vulnerability and an inability to regulate emotional responses. Ongoing "emotional dysregulation" negatively impacts a client's functioning in personal relationships, developing coping skills, thinking clearly in stressful situations and holding on to a sense of self. DBT Group focuses on "radical" acceptance of oneself, while learning behavioral skills specifically designed to help overcome emotional vulnerability and to help build a life worth living.
