DBT Group Session for teens and adults Utica MI

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Empowering you with essential skills

DBT therapy centers on four core skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. This therapeutic approach, offered in both individual and group sessions, aims to reduce self-destructive behaviors and assist those facing challenges with emotion regulation. It's important to note that this is not a process group where you share personal stories; it's an educational group designed to equip you with the skills to enhance your mental health. DBT has shown remarkable effectiveness in working with individuals diagnosed with conditions such as borderline personality disorder, substance use disorders, eating disorders, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, depressive disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

​

DBT is tailored for adolescents and adults.
