WOMENS DBT GROUP

TUESDAYS 12 PM - 1:30 PM and WEDNESDAYS at 1 PM - 2:30 PM

For women who would like to cope more effectively with intense emotions, addictive or impulsive behaviors, and/or relationship struggles. Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance skills are taught to reduce self-destructive behaviors and learn more adaptive ways to manage painful emotions and life stressors.

Group Format

DBT is a skills training group, not a process group.  The first 45 minutes of the group is where the skills trainer will work individually with each group member to give coaching, feedback, and observations about skills practiced during the previous week.  Group members not only benefit from the individual coaching, but by being exposed to hearing how other group members are practicing skills. 

The second half of the group is spent going over one DBT skill.  Multiple handouts, homework sheets, experiential exercises, and discussion are used as learning tools.  Group members are asked to practice this one skill over the week and to give feedback the following week on how this skill worked for them and what challenges occurred.  The size of each DBT group is limited to a maximum of eight members to ensure enough time for all members to participate. 

$75 for the 90 minute group session
