DBT Parent Groups

DBT Parent Groups are designed for family members of clients participating in our DBT Skills Groups, and a required component of Castlebrook's DBT Skills Groups for Adolescents. We also welcome parents of teens, young adults, and adults who are not currently attending one of our DBT Skills Groups, or are not even in therapy but struggle with challenging emotions and behaviors.

In this 12-week series, parents and family members will learn the core foundational concepts of Dialectical Behavior Therapy as a treatment protocol, information on how high-sensitivity individuals process interactions differently, and ways to coach skills usage at home.

The data on family engagement in Adolescent DBT and Young Adult DBT programs is extremely encouraging - the more that families are involved in the program, the better the treatment outcomes are for the teens and young adults.

DBT Parent Groups run at various points throughout the year for 12 weeks, with start dates typically in early September, early January, and late March/early April. 

Our next DBT Parent Group will start in January 2025. Register here. Where it says 'Briefly explain the reason you are seeking services', please write 'DBT Parent Group'. 

DBT Parent Groups can be billed to insurance, so you will be responsible for any co-pay or deductible as determined by your insurance plan. Private pay cost is $90/session.
