Young Adult DBT Group
This group is designed specifically with the needs of those transitioning from adolescence to adulthood, ages 17-26, in mind. We recognize that the combination of emotional sensitivity, social vulnerability and changes in performance expectations can lead to intensified anxiety and depression. We want to provide techniques for navigating this phase of life successfully. Participants in this group may be struggling with some of the following: Experiencing roller coaster relationships; Difficulty in balancing coursework and social life; Overwhelming emotions followed by numbing out; Thoughts of suicide; Desire to drop out of school or work; Self-harming or emotionally-impulsive behaviors

Adult DBT
Skills Groups are run like a class where the group leader teaches skills and practice exercises to help you use the skills at home, school, work and social situations. Classes are organized in four modules: core mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. With 6 sessions per module, it takes 24 sessions, or an average of 6 months to complete all skills classes. Most clients take the four DBT modules more than once to more fully absorb and apply the skills as they become increasingly automatic in most areas of your life.
