Find Stability, Build Resilience

Our DBT program provides a comprehensive set of tools and resources that support each adolescent’s unique journey:

• Individual DBT Sessions
  In one-on-one sessions, therapists work closely with teens to address specific emotional challenges and behavioral patterns. Teens learn to identify triggers, manage reactions, and develop practical skills to cope with difficult situations.

• Skills Training Groups
  These group sessions cover the core DBT skills—mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. In a supportive peer environment, teens practice these skills and gain confidence in applying them to everyday situations.

• Mindfulness Practices
  Mindfulness is a foundational aspect of DBT. By practicing mindfulness, teens learn to stay present, become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, and approach challenges with a calm and focused mindset.

• Distress Tolerance Techniques
  Distress tolerance skills help teens navigate overwhelming situations without resorting to impulsive behaviors. By building tolerance for discomfort, teens can face challenging moments with greater resilience.

• Emotional Regulation Skills
  DBT’s emotional regulation skills teach teens how to manage intense emotions and respond to them in healthy, constructive ways. These skills are especially beneficial for managing mood swings and reducing impulsive actions.

• Interpersonal Effectiveness
  DBT emphasizes the importance of healthy relationships. Through interpersonal effectiveness training, teens learn how to communicate assertively, set boundaries, and build strong, respectful connections with others.
