DBT treatment typically incorporates two essential components: individual therapy sessions and DBT skills groups. Individual therapy sessions provide a personalized and focused therapeutic experience, with the patient engaging in one-on-one interaction with a skilled therapist. These sessions serve to fulfill the specific therapeutic needs of the individual, ensuring their progress and well-being throughout the treatment journey. The therapist not only guides the patient in acquiring and utilizing DBT skills in their daily life but also plays a vital role in maintaining their motivation and addressing any challenges or obstacles that may arise during the course of therapy. This collaborative approach empowers individuals to navigate their unique circumstances and effectively apply the principles of DBT in achieving lasting change and emotional resilience.

DBT skills groups are designed to help participants learn and practice valuable skills in the company of others. These groups are led by qualified therapists who facilitate the learning process, teaching skills, and guided group activities. After each session, group members are assigned homework, such as mindfulness exercises, to further reinforce the skills they have learned. While DBT can be delivered in various formats by therapists, some individuals may choose to solely engage in one-on-one treatment sessions, foregoing the weekly skills group. Conversely, others may find the group setting more beneficial and prefer it over individual sessions.

At present, Inward Healing Therapy does not offer DBT groups; however, if you are interested in participating in a group, we can assist you in connecting with a reputable DBT group facilitated by another provider. Joining a DBT group can offer additional support and the opportunity to learn from others facing similar challenges, enhancing your therapeutic experience.
