Each group cohort lasts 8-10 weeks and is limited to 8 participants. An individual therapist is recommended but NOT required to participate.

Teen Group Intake Process:
Thanks for your interest in joining our teen therapy group! Please fill out our new client inquiry form and select Group as the type of therapy requested.
If your teen already has an individual therapist, please also have them fill out our group referral form. After you have been referred, we will process your information and our administrative assistant will contact you directly to get you set up in our system and schedule your teen for a 30 minute orientation.
If your teen does not have an individual therapist, we will still need to acquire intake information in order to create a treatment plan and a working diagnosis for insurance purposes. The therapist facilitating your teen's group will do a one hour intake and orientation with them. Self-pay for an intake is $150 or we can provide a mental health evaluation form to be completed by a therapist at a practice that is in network for your insurance.
After the orientation and intake, your teen is ready to begin their transformation journey.
"The DBT Skills Therapeutic Experience" Intake Process:
Since all participants are required to have an individual therapist, we require that your individual therapist refers you using the form below.
After you have been referred, we will process your information and our administrative assistant will contact you directly to get you set up in our system and scheduled for an intake.
Next, you’ll have an appointment with Dana, our DBT skills therapist. During this appointment, Dana will confirm your mental health symptoms and treatment goals, and orient you to DBT therapy.
Get ready to begin your transformation journey.
