JOIN US FOR DIALECTICAL BEHAVIORAL THERAPY GROUP!

Learn and practice DBT-backed skills for emotional awareness, regulation, and interpersonal relationships in a safe, supportive environment.

In this group, you’ll gain real-world skills to grow and thrive in your relationships.

Together we will practice the DBT model, gaining essential skills for mindfulness, emotional regulation, and healthier relationships. Beyond worksheets, we practice strategies that help you stay in control when emotions and stress run high.

Intentional exercises for your emotional health

Our weekly DBT group provides consistent practice, accountability, and guidance in a closed group setting. Think of it like a workout class where you’ll come together with others in a safe and uplifting space focused on self-improvement.

This group is right for you if:

→ You struggle in relationships with setting boundaries, expressing needs, or navigating conflict

→ You want healthier, more effective ways to communicate

→ You want to stop repeating unhealthy patterns in friendships, family dynamics, or romantic relationships

→ You feel stuck in old patterns but you’re ready for concrete skills that really work

→ You’re ready to build a life that feels steadier, more intentional, and less driven by crisis or emotional reactivity

→ You’re seeking accountability, structure, and consistency, but struggle to implement these on your own

→ You’re in individual therapy and want a structured, skills-based supplement

→ You’ve completed PHP or IOP and are looking for continued support without full-time treatment

Meet Your Facilitator, Danielle Arntson, LPC

Danielle believes that therapy is a transformative and collaborative process, and her approach is rooted in vulnerability, honesty, and humor. By understanding how traumatic experiences impact thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs, Danielle offers a non-pathologizing space for diagnoses like Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Bipolar disorder, and Borderline personality disorder. Always trauma-informed, her practice draws from attachment theory, DBT, motivational interviewing, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

How does group therapy work?

Group therapy can be one of the most powerful ways to tap into new parts of your life and gain self-knowledge. We purposely keep the size of our group therapy sessions to just ten people — so trust, rapport, and camaraderie are built.

→ Practice new communication skills

→ Receive thoughtful feedback

→ See patterns in action

→ Experience connection in a structured, safe environment
