Teen DBT Skills Group

This virtual Teen DBT Skills Group is ideal for teens who struggle with managing big emotions, navigating negative thoughts, communicating with others effectively, coping with change, stress, and responsibilities, having positive feelings toward themselves, and staying mindful in the moment.

If you are a highly sensitive teen who:

  • Experiences big emotions
  • Has emotions that sometimes cause you to feel out of control because they go 0-100 in a flash
  • Sometimes gets upset easily with strong emotional reactions
  • Has a difficult time calming your emotions
  • At times feels consumed with fear
  • Longs to belong and feel a connection to others so you can feel more understood
  • Has self-harming thoughts or behaviors
  • Often makes impulsive decisions that you may sometimes regret

We want to help you:

  • Develop the skills you need to reduce emotional suffering by learning skills to enhance control of emotions
  • Grow in your ability to make informed decisions on behalf of yourself
  • Learn concrete coping strategies to deal with the hard things you face so you no longer feel the need to self-harm or numb your pain with other unhelpful things
  • Develop ways to feel less stress, conflict, and overwhelm by learning to focus attention on the present moment, letting go of the past and future worries.
  • Increase self-awareness, problem solving skills, and effective communication skills to enhance your relationships with friends and family.
  • Tolerate distress and know how to navigate emotionally triggering situations and other crises

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment that teaches emotional, behavioral and cognitive skills and is effective in helping teens who experience difficulty managing their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

Interested participants can email or call and request an assessment appointment with our facilitator, Megan Quinn. Members are strongly encouraged to be involved in weekly individual therapy with a DBT-informed therapist.

You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero

  A book recommendation from therapist Megan Kolecke LCPC This is your “get out of a rut free” card! It is an easy and inviting read to spark your brain into action. Jen’s spicy humor is a great tool to gain perspective regarding ourselves and our environment – how those perspectives often get twisted and how to challenge those negative thoughts. If there’s one takeaway from the book, it’s that the caliber of positive energy we send out is what we can expect to get back in return. Sit back and take in this fun read; Jen has been there, done that, and will take you through her learning process with some motivation and butt-kicking thrown in.

How COVID-19 May Be Impacting Depression and Anxiety in Your Teen

  Adolescence is a plethora of changes, trials, and moments of growth. We are influenced by our peers, family, and social media, as we attempt to discover more about who we are, what we want, and what we will become. These questions are hard enough by themselves, but, as many teens are unfortunately discovering, their difficulty can increase ten-fold in the midst of a universal pandemic. Your teen was likely pulled out of public school in lieu of a quarantined, online classroom in late March. Everyday activities like going to the movies or hanging out with friends became dangerous, even lethal. A dependence on electronics became greater than ever seen before, as, for many still, the internet is their strongest tie to the social world.
