DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is an effective treatment for those who have difficulty controlling their emotions and behaviors.   This group will help teens to replace problem behaviors with positive skills and help teens learn how to experience a range of emotions without necessarily acting on those emotions. Your teen can also expect to learn how to navigate relationships in their environment and create a life worth living.

-Mindfulness
-Awareness of what you are feeling, why you get upset or what your goals are
-Attention and focus
-Emotional regulation
-Navigating and preventing fast and intense mood changes and mood dependent behaviors
-Coping strategies to handle changing moods
