Adult Christ Centered Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Class
Learn mindfulness (like the opposite of mindlessness), interpersonal effectiveness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and more in this highly interactive class! Based in a Christian worldview*, this class is for individuals committed to an emotionally healthy life and equips them with skills to improve relationships at work, church, school, or home.
*This means a biblical framework is used as an existential foundation underlying DBT skills. Participants may agree with, be unaware of, or openly disagree with this foundation.
Here is a link to a video that talks about what DBT is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSCBeI65aSE
This Skills Class is based on the founder of DBT’s “DBT Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets” which are provided free of charge to members. Each class integrates material in “The Skills Training Manual for Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy: A Clinician's Guide for Treating Disorders of Overcontrol” by Lynch, and handouts are provided when this material is integrated.
Time: Saturdays 10:00 - 11:30am
Cost: $40/class, scholarships available
How/When to join: fill out the form below. Participants may join at any time and are asked to commit to regular attendance for at least 6 sessions to provide others with a consistent group of classmates. Participants may decide when they believe they are ready to ‘launch’ and may rejoin the class so long as there are open spots available. All of the material can be covered in about 30 classes, but participants may choose to graduate early or stay for a second round and are highly encouraged to attend as they see fit.
Group Supervision
Those acquiring hours for their LAC (Licensed Addiction Counselor) and LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) can attend group supervision to fulfill some of their supervision hours. Kaley is currently compiling a waiting list of those interested in joining a supervision group and will work with those who inquire about finding a mutually agreeable time.
