DBT Skills Group Atlanta
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) can improve your relationships and help you feel more in control of your emotions. Group therapy can be a highly effective way to learn and practice these skills with other people who have similar goals and challenges.
At Atlanta Therapy & Wellness, we offer individual DBT therapy in Atlanta as well as DBT-informed group therapy. Our groups are led by skilled therapists who have diverse professional and personal experiences. We strive to make our groups as accessible as possible in order to help people from all walks of life get the care that they need.
At the same time, we know that our offerings may not always be the right fit. If you're looking for DBT in a different location or need a group for a specific age range or gender, we can recommend other local DBT groups that may be a better option for you.
Here, we offer a brief overview of four local DBT-informed groups (including ours) so you can find the best one for you.

FAQs about DBT skills groups
-
DBT groups teach people dialectical behavior therapy in a group setting. Each group may be run slightly differently, but typically, group sessions involve a brief check-in from group members, learning DBT skills, the opportunity to practice, and homework assignments to apply the skills in real-life settings.
-
The four modules of dialectical behavior therapy are mindfulness skills, emotion regulation skills, distress tolerance skills, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. All of these modules are meant to help participants feel more in control of their emotions and cultivate happier, healthier relationships.
-
The groups listed here are all local to Atlanta. Some offer virtual groups so that people outside of the greater Atlanta area can participate. However, if you're looking for an in-person group elsewhere in Georgia (or in a different state entirely), we recommend using a therapist directory or doing a Google search for groups in your area.
