Hard things can feel lighter when you’re not facing them alone. Our six-week DBT skills group brings adults together in person in Scottsdale to learn ways to manage strong feelings, cope with stress, and communicate their needs. A licensed therapist leads each session and guides respectful, supportive talks.
Some things are easier to face in good company.
Group therapy connects you with people who face similar concerns. You can share experiences, learn from each other, and feel less alone.
Together, you practice skills to manage stress, handle hard feelings, and connect with others. You can use these skills in daily life. A licensed therapist guides the group and sets clear rules to support respectful talks.
Our small groups are led by a licensed therapist. Each group has a shared focus, such as managing stress or building relationship skills. Hearing from others may help you feel understood. You also learn and practice skills together.
Some people attend both group and individual therapy. Others choose group therapy on its own, based on their needs.
Group therapy offers support from a therapist and a chance to connect with others. You may want to practice skills you’ve learned in individual therapy. You may be looking for a lower-cost way to get support. Or you may want to meet people who understand what you’re going through.
On your free call, we’ll discuss your needs and whether a current group may help.
Facing something hard can feel even heavier when you feel alone. Hearing someone share a similar experience may help you feel understood and less alone. You may feel this way during grief, anxiety, divorce, or a health problem. Caring for a parent or a child who is struggling can also feel lonely.
Group therapy gives you a place to notice patterns and practice new ways to respond to others. Your therapist can help you learn from hard moments and try a different approach. This may help if you freeze during talks, hide your feelings, or speak more harshly than you mean to.
You may understand your feelings but still want help with how you relate to others. In a group, you can hear different views and learn how others experience your words and actions. Your therapist guides this feedback so it stays respectful and useful.
Group therapy may cost less per visit than individual therapy. This can make care easier to afford. Our six-week DBT skills group costs $490 for the full course, paid once.
It’s common to feel nervous about joining a group. Sharing personal things with new people can feel hard. You can talk with the group’s therapist about your concerns before you join.

Your therapist may teach ways to handle stress, notice thought patterns, or focus on the present. They also guide talks and help members practice skills.
