Atlanta DBT Center

A weekly two-hour DBT Skills Group. It is designed to teach participants the skills of mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, & radical openness skills,. Through teaching, discussion, homework practice and review, group members learn skills to begin to effectively problem solve and reclaim their life.

Individual sessions are designed to validate one's experience  while encouraging changes that can improve their lives. The DBT therapy process is structured and also collaborative in terms of identifying behaviors targeted for change, generating solution strategies, applying skills learned in groups, and improving decision-making skills.

Skills coaching is utilized between sessions for brief phone coaching to help generalize skills to real-world situations.

These are services designed to help structure the environment so that there is the greatest likelihood of succeeding in the world. This includes family education, education of the community, case management when clients are unsuccessful in using their own skills to reach goals, etc.

Consultation teams are held weekly. These meetings are essentially "group therapy for DBT therapists." The goal is to help therapists be the "best" DBT therapists they can be so the clients get the best treatment they can receive.
