Adolescent Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Group for teens ages 12-17.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a form of mental health counseling that teaches mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Learn more about how DBT works here.
This 8-week group will help your teenager learn useful skills to bring balance into their lives.
All new participants and their parent/guardian must attend a short intake appointment prior to the group to complete an assessment, establish personal goals for the group, and discuss group rules -- this is included in total group cost.
The Takeaways:
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a skills-based approach that teaches four different sets of skills:
- Mindfulness skills to help us become aware of ourselves and the world. They help us recognize our patterns and triggers, teach us to make wise decisions and focus our attention.
- Distress Tolerance skills help us cope with difficult situations and emotions without turning to harmful behaviors.
- Emotional Regulation skills teach us to become more aware of our emotions, create emotional balance, and build self-confidence.
- Interpersonal Effectiveness skills teach us communication and relationship skills. They help us be assertive, set boundaries, maintain healthy relationships, and increase self-respect.
