Group psychotherapy is a powerful, research-supported form of therapy. In a confidential space guided by a trained therapist, a small group of individuals come together to to help one another grow—sometimes through direct instruction and skills training; other times through honest reflection and compassionate feedback, and always through connection & shared experience.

A process group is interpersonal and exploratory. Rather than learning skills from a curriculum, members learn from one another through real-time experience.

Work in a process group focuses on:
✔ how you relate
✔ how you communicate
✔ how you protect
✔ how you withdraw or reach for others
✔ how you navigate vulnerability, conflict, and repair

A DBT skills group is structured and curriculum-based. Members learn evidence-based DBT skills.

It functions more like a class:
➡ new skills are taught and practiced
➡ homework is assigned
➡ members apply skills to their lives
➡ sharing tends to be brief and focused on skill use
