DBT for Adults
Our comprehensive DBT program is designed for adults (18+) who struggle with emotion dysregulation and are seeking practical, research-backed strategies to build a more stable and fulfilling life.
​
If you're ready to make a meaningful commitment to your well-being—and can attend sessions in person—this program may be the transformative step you’ve been looking for.
​
The program runs over 14-months, with an investment of approximately $25,000. This includes all core components of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (weekly group skills training, weekly individual therapy and between-session phone coaching) and offers the opportunity to develop greater emotional resilience, improved relationships and a stronger sense of self.
​
We are dedicated to delivering DBT in accordance with the full, evidence-based model. This means our clients receive care that is consistent with the approach shown to produce the best clinical outcomes. Our team of DBT-trained therapists works collaboratively—both with each other and with you—to support your progress toward your goals.
Group Skills
Training
Group Skills Training is a core component of our DBT program, delivered in six structured modules across 14-months. Each module runs for eight weeks, with participants attending one group session per week. These sessions are focused solely on teaching and practicing skills—this is not a process or support group.
​
Over the course of the program, you’ll learn and strengthen practical tools across four key DBT skill areas:
Mindfulness – Developing the ability to stay present in the moment with awareness and without judgment
Distress Tolerance – Building crisis survival strategies to manage overwhelming situations without making things worse
Interpersonal Effectiveness – Learning to communicate assertively, set healthy boundaries and ask for what you need while maintaining relationships
Emotion Regulation – Gaining tools to better understand, manage and shift intense emotions, as well as reduce emotional vulnerability over time
​
This structured, evidence-based approach offers repeated opportunities to learn, apply, and reinforce these skills in real-life situations—helping you navigate challenges more effectively and foster greater emotional balance and resilience.

Individual
Therapy
As part of the program you’ll be matched with a dedicated DBT therapist for weekly one-hour sessions. These sessions provide a space to tailor the skills you’re learning in group to your unique life circumstances.
​
Your therapist will work collaboratively with you to identify your personal goals and support you in making meaningful progress toward a life that feels more aligned, purposeful and manageable. Together you’ll address the real-life challenges that arise between sessions, applying DBT principles to help you stay on track and build lasting change.

Phone Coaching
Between sessions you’ll have the opportunity to contact your individual therapist for brief, focused support. Phone coaching is designed to help you apply DBT skills in real-time—especially during emotionally intense moments or situations where you feel stuck.
​
Rather than offering additional therapy, phone coaching provides timely guidance to help you use the strategies you’re learning in your daily life, when it matters most. It’s a practical tool to support your progress and keep you moving toward your goals.
