GROUPS

 

What are skills groups?

DBT skills groups are a core component of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This is where you learn the coping skills that you will use to support your growth.

These skills are designed to help you navigate real-life stressors more effectively. They include mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness—skills that support how you relate to your emotions, your thoughts, and the people around you.

DBT skills groups are not traditional “process groups.” Instead of focusing on discussing personal experiences in depth during the group, DBT skills groups are structured like a class where you learn and practice specific skills.

Because these groups are provided by a licensed therapist, participation is currently limited to residents of Missouri. Individuals must be physically located in Missouri at the time of services in accordance with state licensing regulations.
