DBT Skills Training Group

Join our specialized classes, each spanning a 24-week cycle. Many of our clients opt to continue for multiple cycles to enhance their skills further. Within this timeframe, participants delve into the core modules of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), including Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness.

Mindfulness Skills: Cultivate awareness and attention control to balance rationality and emotions, fostering a grounded presence.
Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills: Learn to assert needs, establish boundaries, and nurture healthier relationships while fostering self-respect.
Emotion Regulation Skills: Gain mastery over emotions, fostering the ability to navigate and shift emotional states toward positivity.
Distress Tolerance Skills: Develop strategies to cope with intense emotions and challenging situations in constructive ways.
For participants and their families, we offer an additional module: “Walking the Middle Path for Families,” aimed at fostering improved communication, dialectical thinking, reinforcement strategies, and validation to promote harmony within the family unit.

Answer: Our DBT Skills Training Class costs $75 per session. Classes are held once a week for 1.5 hours. Clients can self-pay or use CareCredit to establish a payment plan if needed.

Answer: DBT treatment has many components of treatment that are not paid for by any health insurance at this time, including but not limited to skills training classes, phone sessions, parent coaching, crisis intervention, and case coordination with schools and psychiatrists. At this time, no insurance is covering these services. Most DBT programs require out of pocket payment and do not bill insurance because of this challenge.

Answer: The DBT Skills Training Class is designed for individuals who experience difficulty managing their emotions, maintaining relationships, or handling stress. It is beneficial for people dealing with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, and more.

Answer: Participants will learn skills in four main areas:

Mindfulness: Being present in the moment and aware of your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings.

Emotion Regulation: Techniques to identify, understand, and manage intense emotions.

Distress Tolerance: Tools to handle crises and stress without making the situation worse.

Interpersonal Effectiveness: Strategies to improve communication and maintain healthy relationships.

Answer: Yes! The DBT Skills Training Class can be taken on its own, separate from the more intensive DBT IOP. This is a great option for individuals who want to focus specifically on building DBT skills in a structured group setting.

Answer: To get started, contact our office at (301) 200-2051 or complete a self-referral form or provider referral form through our website. A provider will follow-up with you within 24 hours, Monday-Friday.
