DBT Skills Groups

Most of us where never taught what to do when emotions take over.

DBT skills help you find the space between feeling and reacting, and choose what happens next.

How the groups work
Think of it less as a support group and more like a class: focused, skills-based, and held in a warm, encouraging space. Each week we learn a new skill, practice it together, and check in on how the week's practice went. Over about six months, we move through four skill areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Many people choose to stay longer

Small groups of up to six · Live on Zoom for people located in New York · Alongside individual therapy (your therapist doesn't need to be with us) · Short weekly practice between sessions · Queer-affirming and open to all genders and sexualities

Our Current Groups

Group participants learn ways to understand, experience, manage, and accept their emotions - organized across four modules:

  • Mindfulness - learning how to gain more control of our mind

  • Emotion Regulation - skills to change unwanted/in effective emotions

  • Distress Tolerance - surviving emotions crises

  • Interpersonal Effectiveness - how to be effective in relationships

This group tends to be a good fit if you:

  • Are already doing individual therapy and want structured tools to support that work

  • Often feel overwhelmed by your emotions

  • Tend to “run high on anxiety”

  • Find yourself acting impulsively in ways that create problems

  • Struggle in relationships

Members are expected to practice skills between sessions and complete a one-time intake before joining. Concurrent individual therapy is required.
