Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Group
DBT is an empirically supported treatment aimed at improving problematic patterns in emotion regulation, impulse control, interpersonal relationships, and self-image. DBT Skills Group offers skills training in core areas including mindfulness, walking the middle path, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are aimed at helping individuals address existing behavioral, emotional, and interpersonal problems and begin living a life worth living.
AUPSC offers groups for adolescents (ages 13–18) and adults (18+). Our adolescent group meets weekly on Monday evenings from 5pm–7pm and runs for 20 weeks. Our adult groups meet weekly on Wednesday or Thursday evenings from 5pm–7pm and run for 15 weeks. The cost of each 2-hour session is $10 and the cost of the initial group intake appointment is $35. Group members may join on a rolling basis every four weeks until the group is full. Group members must have an individual therapist (at AUPSC or elsewhere). If you are interested in DBT Skills Group but do not have an individual therapist, you may contact AUPSC to learn more about our individual therapy services or obtain a referral list.
