DBT Skills Group:

DBT Skills Groups can be effective for a wide range of people with or without Borderline Personality Disorder. The only requirement is that you have an individual therapist.

In Skills Group, we learn and practice skills for:

1) Emotional Regulation

Why do we have such big emotions?

What purpose do they serve?

When should we fully experience an emotion, and when should we engage in opposite action?

2) Interpersonal Effectiveness

How do we get what we need in our relationships while maintaining respect for all involved?

How do we make friends, keep friends, or end toxic relationships?

3) Distress Tolerance

How do we survive a stressful event without making the situation worse through risky behaviors?

4) Mindfulness

How can we be more present in the moment?

DBT Skills Groups are psycho-educational, allowing group members to learn and practice new skills. Psycho-education is an important supplement to individual therapy, not a replacement for therapy. While we do hope to share and connect with fellow group members, these groups are not intended to be used for processing.

DBT Skills Groups are closed-groups with limited availability. Contracted on a 6-month basis, groups meet weekly for 60 minutes. If you are interested in joining a DBT Skills Group, please fill out the Group Inquiry Form so that Hannah can contact you with current group availability and schedules.

Fee Schedule:

1) $50 per week for those in the Comprehensive DBT Program with Hannah (includes 24/7 phone coaching).

2) $40 per week for those who are doing skills group only.

*DBT skills-groups are private pay only.

Weekend psycho-educational intensives for individuals or caregivers/support persons are available upon request.

Making Sense of Your Worth is a powerful group program designed to help people develop and maintain positive Self-Worth. Without awareness, our level of Self-Worth affects our behaviors, how we operate in relationships, our ability to set boundaries, our aspirations, our ability to lead or parent, and, for some of us, our capacity to fully heal.

The Making Sense of Your Worth program takes place over the course of eight consecutive weeks. Each group session is two hours long. The group is open to a maximum of eight members. The program curriculum includes psychoeducational material, crafts, activities, and verbal processing.

During the course of the program, we will address the following concepts:

-Attachment

-Met and Unmet Needs

-Safety and Felt Safety

-Past Adverse Experiences

-Lies We've Been Told

-Shame That We Carry

-Finding and Befriending Ourselves

-Replacing Lies with Truth

-Forgiveness

Fee Schedule:

$30 Registration Fee (includes book and program materials).

$400 Program Fee with two payment options:

1) $360 fee paid at the time of registration (10% discount).
