DBT-c Group Therapy

DBT-C (Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Children) Group Therapy is designed for children ages 9–13 who may struggle with big emotions, frustration, anxiety, social difficulties, or emotional outbursts. Through interactive activities, games, discussions, and hands-on skill building, children learn practical tools to better understand and manage their emotions in a fun, supportive environment.

The group helps children develop skills for calming themselves during stressful moments, handling difficult feelings in healthy ways, improving friendships and communication, and becoming more aware of their thoughts and emotions. Sessions are designed to be engaging, supportive, and age-appropriate so children can learn skills they can use in everyday life at home, in school, and with peers.

A parent component is included as part of the program to help reinforce skills at home and support continued growth outside of the group setting. By involving both children and parents, the program encourages stronger emotional support, healthier communication, and lasting progress.
