Virtual formats allow Illinois residents, who do not live in Chicago, to also participate in our group program.

Current Group Openings
Our groups are structured with a psycho-educational format. In other words, they are supportive therapy groups that are also teaching concepts and techniques to help navigate difficult emotional experiences, alleviate suffering, and to teach more effective ways to communicate with others and build relationships.
DBT Skills Training (Virtual)
This group meets weekly on Wednesdays @ 5 pm
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has been shown to be an effective treatment for a number of issues including anxiety, depression, addiction, impulsivity, and relationship problems.
DBT is different than many other forms of treatment because it emphasizes learning and building concrete skills, coping mechanisms, and tools to manage problems in your life.
