DBT Groups in West Seattle

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is based on the understanding that multiple things can be true at one time. It teaches us skills to use in everyday situations as well as times of heightened distress and crisis. DBT teaches four core skill sets that, when practiced and integrated into life, will allow us to create and live a life worth living... no matter what that looks like for you.

These groups are for LGBTQIA+ individuals, neurodivergent adults, parents, co-parents, and diverse family structures. This world is rough when you are a nuclear-presenting family, and it only gets more difficult to navigate from there. DBT can teach us perpetually useful skills to navigate through a rapidly changing world while grounding us in mindfulness and the present moment. This helps us to ease our anxieties and reduce mood-dependent living, while allowing us to gain confidence to make more effective daily decisions.

DBT teaches us to examine the behaviors we currently hold and helps us apply a foundation of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness while learning to walk the middle path. All of this is grounded in the knowledge that none of us became the way we are in a vacuum—it took time for us to get here, and through DBT, we can find a new path.
