DBT Group Therapy
DBT Group is the treatment of choice for individuals struggling with intense emotions, excessive relational conflict, extreme thinking, and/or self-destructive behaviors. In this group, participants learn effective coping skills that promote emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT Group is facilitated by a clinician licensed to treat AODA and mental health issues. The group meets one or two hours per week for 12 weeks. The clinic offers separate DBT Groups for adults and adolescents.

Referral Process
If you are already a client at the Pauquette Center, speak to your therapist about the group and about being referred.
If you are not a current Pauquette Center client, please complete the External Referral form on the Website. Once we have enough people referred, we will schedule you for a short screening to provide background information and determine if the group would be a good fit. If you are a good fit, you will be required to complete new client paperwork, and be scheduled for a session to complete an intake and a treatment plan.
