Client Testimonial"The support and insight I gained from this group is incomparable."

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides clients with new skills to manage painful emotions and decrease conflict in relationships. DBT specifically focuses on providing therapeutic skills in four key areas:
- Mindfulness - focuses on improving an individual's ability to accept and be present in the moment.
- Distress Tolerance - geared toward increasing a person’s tolerance of negative emotion, rather than trying to escape from it.
- Emotional Regulation - covers strategies to manage and change intense emotions that are causing problems in a person’s life.
- Interpersonal effectiveness - consists of techniques that allow a person to communicate with others in a way that is assertive, maintains self-respect, and strengthens relationships.
DBT skills groups at New Beginnings incorporate somatic awareness into the curriculum and encourage participants to learn and practice skills alongside others, share their experiences, and provide mutual support.
