Group Counseling : group counseling services offer participants an opportunity to develop in specific coping skills as well as relate to a group of peers who experience similar challenges. Group services often combine a mixture of skills development and psycho-education as well as group process to enhance of skills usage during daily life situations. Each group is led by a skilled clinician.

Group services available include:

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy is an evidence based treatment developed for people who experience persistent and chronic emotional regulation concerns. DBT skills are taught in a classroom environment following a 24 week curriculum learning mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT skills have benefits as a stand alone service, however, a commitment to weekly individual DBT therapy while enrolled in the DBT skills group will provide adherence to the research based model.
• Creative Mindfulness Group: This group integrates a practice of core mindfulness skills and integrates expression using art, writing and a variety of practices that enhance one’s experience in the here and now

Art Therapy: Art therapy or expressive arts therapy, encourages people to express and understand emotions through artistic expression and through the creative process using a variety of materials. By engaging in an art making experience, participants may gain critical insight into emotions, thoughts, and feelings.

• Self discovery, personal fulfillment, motor skills development, empowerment and relaxation are some of the benefits of art therapy. Prior artistic experience is not necessary to participate in art therapy.
