DBT Group For Teens in Ohio
“Teen DBT Skills Group”
This group will focus on the learning and implementation of skills that help teens recognize, express, and manage their emotions and actions effectively.
Group Focus:
Through group participation and assigned homework between sessions, patients will learn core dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) concepts, including mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Patients will learn to bring acceptance with change, gain new skills to replace behaviors that do not work, and understand how to validate their emotions and experiences.
Participants: Current LifeStance Health patients who are 11 to 17 years old with a diagnosis of anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, OCD, or any other disorder which struggles with emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness and/or would benefit from learning new coping skills.
