What DBT Skills Training Is Not:

Our DBT Skills Training groups are only 1 mode of treatment in a full comprehensive DBT program. You will not receive individual DBT therapy sessions or phone coaching at McMan. We do not offer a full comprehensive DBT program.
It is not group therapy. In a DBT Skills Training group, the focus is on teaching you new skills, not on discussing your symptoms or processing your emotions. It’s much more like a class than a therapy session. For this reason, it is recommended (yet not required) you also see an individual therapist while attending DBT Skills Training group.
It’s not magic. You get out what you put in. Coming to group every week is only part of what is required to make meaning change in your life and mental health. The other parts involve practice, practice, practice.
