New Virtual DBT Group Starting September 2026

We begin every week with a mindfulness exercise, followed by homework review, and then we dive into the psychoeducational skills lesson for the week. We end the group by assigning homework for everyone to practice their skills. We will go over all 4 DBT modules (mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation). Group members will need to purchase the DBT handouts and worksheets book ($50 on Amazon), which we will refer to for homework and lessons. 

Each 90 minute group costs $150. Group members are expected to attend all 25 group sessions, totaling $3,750 over the course of about 6 months. Group members are charged after each group. No lump sum required.

Yes, phone coaching, sometimes referred to as phone consultation, is available to all group members enrolled in the virtual DBT group. 

Phone coaching in DBT means that all DBT group members are able to call their group therapist throughout the week on an as-needed basis to help them use and understand DBT skills. Skills coaching sessions are brief, 15-20 minute phone calls focused on helping clients learn and apply DBT skills effectively in their lives. 

Skills coaching is available 24/7. Group members can reach out to the group therapist via text, phone call, or email to set up a time for skills coaching. The DBT therapist usually responds to requests within a few hours.

No. Phone coaching is not appropriate for emergencies. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please dial 911 or 988 or go to your nearest emergency room or crisis center.
