Life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming; whether in school, relationships, or personal growth. The skills taught in our Intensive DBT Skills Groups are invaluable for young adults looking to build stronger coping mechanisms, improve emotional regulation, and enhance communication abilities. These essential skills can empower you to manage distress more adaptively and create a more balanced, fulfilling life.
Our group sessions are tailored to address the unique experiences and challenges faced by high school graduates and college students, making it a perfect fit for young adults looking for support in these transformative years.
What We Focus On
The Intensive DBT Skills Groups revolve around four key modules, each designed to target specific life areas that require enhanced emotional skills:
-
Mindfulness – Mindfulness is the foundation of DBT. Participants will learn how to stay grounded in the present moment and become more aware of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. These skills can help reduce impulsivity, increase self-awareness, and improve overall mental clarity.
-
Distress Tolerance – Life brings inevitable stressors and crises. Distress tolerance skills teach you how to survive and manage intense emotions without resorting to unhealthy coping strategies. This module provides practical tools to navigate distressing situations with resilience and composure.
-
Emotion Regulation – Learning how to manage and adjust emotional responses is essential for healthy relationships and personal well-being. In this module, participants gain strategies to identify, understand, and regulate emotions more effectively, reducing emotional instability and enhancing self-control.
-
Interpersonal Effectiveness – Healthy relationships are built on strong communication and assertiveness skills. Participants will learn how to assert their needs, set healthy boundaries, and navigate interpersonal conflicts in a way that promotes positive relationships and self-respect.
