Dialectical Behavior Therapy  

16 weeks starting Fall 2023

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) integrates Eastern philosophical principles with Western behavioral psychology, in order to help individuals find balance between at times opposing ideas, such as acceptance and change, emotion and reason, being and doing. In practice, DBT groups focus on skill building and increasing insight. Specifically, each group begins with a Mindfulness practice and then delves variously into other topics such as tolerating distress, regulating emotions, and improving interpersonal communication. Group participants are invited to work on particular areas of their life they’d like to improve, develop skills to apply to those areas, and discuss and support each other through the difficulties inherent in change.

This group has openings for new participants, although we are prioritizing people already on our DBT waiting list. It is limited to a small number of participants. The full fee for each 90-minute group is $150 with a sliding scale fee option, based on financial need. Please contact the clinic, or either of the group facilitators directly, for more information.
