Learn to Manage Emotions and Set Boundaries
If emotions often feel overwhelming, relationships leave you exhausted or impulsive reactions get in your way, you’re not alone. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills can help whether you're navigating intense emotions, managing anxiety or depression or working on healthier boundaries.
Build Emotional Resilience in Community
Our DBT skills group is a structured, supportive space where you’ll learn practical tools to better manage emotions, navigate relationships and create a more grounded, intentional life. Whether you feel emotionally overwhelmed, struggle with boundaries or find yourself stuck in patterns that aren’t working, this group offers a path forward.
At Tate Psychotherapy, our DBT group is led by trained, compassionate therapists who expertly blend learning, skill-building and community.

Inside the DBT Group Experience
- Review of key concepts and skills to keep you grounded in your learning
- Guided practice using real DBT strategies
- Opportunities for reflection and discussion with group members
- Real-life examples to help you apply what you learn outside the group
This isn’t a process group or freeform discussion. Each session follows a clear curriculum and is led by a trained DBT therapist. You’ll receive handouts, engage in experiential practice, and have the opportunity to reflect on how these skills apply to your daily life.
Groups are small, safe, and inclusive. While it’s not a process group, many participants say they find comfort in the shared experience and appreciate practicing skills in community. Sessions are led by licensed therapists who are deeply trained in DBT and committed to helping you build a life that feels more stable, intentional and empowered.

FAQ
How long is the DBT group?
Do I have to share personal details?
Nope. This is a skills-based group, not a therapy group. You’re welcome to share if you feel comfortable, but there’s no pressure to open up about anything you’re not ready for.
Is this a replacement for individual therapy?
Not necessarily. DBT skills groups can be a powerful complement to individual therapy. Some people do both, while others start with the DBT group.
Is this group affirming and inclusive?
Yes. We’re committed to anti-oppressive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and culturally responsive care. All are welcome.
