DBT Skills Group

DBT Skills Groups

DBT Skills Groups at The Wise Center provide a supportive and structured environment where clients can learn, practice, and master essential skills for managing intense emotions and building healthier relationships. These group sessions are a core component of our Dialectical Behavior Therapy approach and are designed to complement individual therapy by offering peer support and shared learning experiences.

DBT Skills Groups

What Are DBT Skills Groups?
Our DBT Skills Groups focus on four fundamental areas:

  • Mindfulness: Enhancing present-moment awareness to help participants stay grounded and focused.
  • Emotion Regulation: Teaching techniques to identify, understand, and manage challenging emotions effectively.
  • Distress Tolerance: Equipping clients with strategies to cope with crises without resorting to impulsive or harmful behaviors.
  • Interpersonal Effectiveness: Building communication and relationship skills to assert needs, set boundaries, and resolve conflicts in a healthy way.

Group Dynamics and Learning Environment
The group setting provides an invaluable forum for shared experiences and mutual encouragement. In DBT Skills Groups, you are not alone—each member brings disparate challenges and strengths, contributing to a rich learning environment where empathy and understanding flourish. Facilitated by experienced DBT clinicians, these sessions are structured yet flexible, ensuring that each participant can explore topics at their own pace while still benefiting from group discussions.

Benefits of Participating in DBT Skills Groups

  • Peer Support: Learn from others who face similar challenges and build a network of supportive peers.
  • Real-Time Practice: Apply DBT skills in a safe setting with immediate feedback from both peers and facilitators.
  • Increased Accountability: Regular group meetings foster commitment to practicing new skills and achieving personal goals.
  • Enhanced Problem-Solving: Group discussions often spark new insights and creative solutions to everyday challenges.
  • Emotional Validation: Sharing experiences in a supportive community can reduce feelings of isolation and encourage self-compassion.

A Path to Lasting Change
Our DBT Skills Groups are more than just therapy sessions—they are opportunities to develop a set of lifelong tools that promote emotional resilience and personal growth. By learning and practicing skills in a group context, participants gain confidence in their ability to manage stress, navigate interpersonal relationships, and handle life’s inevitable ups and downs.

Who Can Benefit?
DBT Skills Groups are ideal for individuals who are already engaged in therapy and looking to enhance their skill set, as well as those who are new to DBT and seeking a structured yet flexible way to improve emotional regulation. Whether you are coping with mood instability, anxiety, or relationship difficulties, our groups offer a welcoming space where you can work toward a healthier, more balanced life.

Reach out to build a future where you feel more empowered!

At The Wise Center, our DBT skills groups offer clients the opportunity to experience transformative, life-changing growth. Through the four core modules of Dialectical Behavior Therapy—Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Distress Tolerance—clients acquire powerful tools that help them manage emotions, build stronger relationships, and face life’s challenges with resilience and confidence.

These groups go beyond just teaching skills; they create a supportive, validating environment where clients can connect with others on similar journeys. The shared experience fosters a sense of community and accountability, making it easier to practice new skills and maintain lasting change.

Our flexible offerings—both virtual and in-person—make it easy to incorporate DBT skills training into even the busiest schedules.
