In addition to therapy, we provide Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Coaching Services to assist you with being more present in your life, learn to effectively balance emotions, manage a crisis & strengthen your relationships. We combine teaching & application of the core DBT skills of Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance & Interpersonal Effectiveness and tailor them to your specific needs! Individual & Group DBT Skills Coaching available! Our DBT Skills Coaching services are psycho-educational & not therapy. These skills are a great complimentary service to therapy.
