DBT+ Weekend Skills Group

Welcome to DBT+ Weekend Skills Group!

Date: October 19th & 20th

Location: 8400 W 110th St., #145, Overland Park, KS 66210

While taught from a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) lens, this format is accessible and applicable to any adults who would like some extra help with life skills. DBT teaches from four main pillars: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. This is NOT a typical talk therapy group. It is more like a class.
It will be taught by myself, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) trained in DBT, as well as a colleague of mine who is also an LPC, and combined we have experience running traditional DBT groups in multiple mental health settings.
This group will be special in that we are offering a one weekend group that covers all the skills whereas traditional DBT groups last months. We hope that this will make these important skills more accessible to those that need them!
It is important to note that not all will qualify. We are only accepting adults ages 18 and older, and you must have an individual therapist to attend. This is due to the nature of the group as a class-- it will not give you the specific-to-you support you'll need to apply what you have learned to your life. It will also be held in-person in Overland Park with a virtual follow-up, so you must be able to attend in person.
Lastly, we unfortunately will not be taking insurance. This is due to the fact that many insurances do not include weekend intensive groups of this nature in their coverage, but we feel this format and opportunity is well worth the price.
