ANCHOR GROUPS

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a valued tool in the treatment of people who experience intense emotions, urges to engage in impulsive behaviors, or chronic problems with interpersonal relationships. Group members will learn how to live more fully in the present moment while focusing less on painful experiences from the past or frightening possibilities of the future. They will also learn how to cope with painful events, regulate emotions without behaving in destructive ways, and resolve interpersonal problems effectively. Separate groups are available for adolescents and adults, and the groups are held in the evening. Please contact Kim Bolen, MA, LPA for more information or to set up a consultation to join the group.

Social Skills Groups for Autistic Spectrum

Social skills training for children with high functioning autistic spectrum disorders teaches social skills via social stories, role plays, psych-education and interactive group activities. The goal of the group is to teach the children the social and communication skills that they need to interact with peers more appropriately. The next group will be beginning this summer. For more information, please contact Mary M. Godin, MA, LPA, LPC.
