“There is so much goodness in not only learning ourselves but also hearing from other people. One of the most significant benefits is the small group where we know that we are not alone in our suffering and our struggles.”
— Caryn, Group Facilitator

Description of Group

We hope this group will help members develop skills to help regulate moods, to be more effective in getting their needs met in relationships, and to increase their ability to direct their thoughts and actions. Members must be in individual counseling. This group will complement therapy being done with another counselor. Members will complete homework and practice the skills between sessions in order to achieve maximum benefit. The group will utilize materials developed by Marsha Linehan: Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training modules. Biblical principles will be integrated into the curriculum.
