Teen DBT Skills Group

Now enrolling!

Ages 11–17 | Thursdays at 6:00 PM

Help your teen build confidence, manage emotions, and develop practical coping skills in our 12-week Teen Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Group.

This evidence-based, skills-focused group teaches adolescents how to better understand and manage emotions through the four core DBT skill areas:

  • Mindfulness

  • Emotion Regulation

  • Distress Tolerance

  • Interpersonal Effectiveness

Designed for teens experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, emotional dysregulation, ASD Level 1, social anxiety, low self-esteem, or friendship challenges. Sessions are interactive, engaging, and developmentally appropriate. Teens learn through discussions, activities, games, and real-life practice they can apply at home, school, and in relationships.

Participants are never required to share personal experiences. The focus is on learning practical skills in a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment. Optional weekly parent handouts help reinforce skills at home and support lasting progress.

Brave Eaters Club™

(Ages 7–11)

The Brave Eaters Club™ is a small, supportive therapy group designed for children who struggle with eating due to anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID).

This group helps kids understand how their brain sometimes sends false food alarms and teaches them skills to feel safer, calmer, and more confident around food. Using a playful, evidence-based CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) approach, children learn to recognize anxious thoughts, check the facts, and practice brave steps at their own pace.

Sessions are highly interactive and kid-friendly, using games, visuals, and hands-on activities to build skills without pressure to eat. The focus is on thinking, choice, and confidence, not forcing food.

Parents are supported with coaching tools and home strategies to reinforce progress outside of sessions. The Brave Eaters Club™ creates a positive, empowering environment where kids learn that they are not “picky” or “bad” — their brain is just learning new rules.
