Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
Next Start Date: Free Orientation on Sept 26th (Classes on Tuesdays from 6-8:30pm; Includes all-day Saturday silent retreat)
The relationship that many of us have with stress can be damaging both mentally and physically. Our eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) classes can dramatically change this relationship. This research-proven approach helps individuals learn to be more present, make calmer, wiser decisions, and experience fewer negative emotions in reaction to stress.
MBSR is considered the gold standard in mindfulness training and can only be led by certified MBSR instructors. We have on staff a fully-certified MBSR educator, ensuring that our clients receive empirically-supported treatment and quality assurance.
16 Week DBT-Informed Skills Course
Mondays from 6pm – 8pm (Virtual)
The 16 Week DBT-Informed Skills Course is an online series designed to teach DBT skills to any person who might find them beneficial. It is offered by fully trained, experienced DBT therapists receiving supervision from a DBT-certified clinician. This course is a virtual course and will be delivered via Microsoft Teams. As this class is being offered as a ‘stand-alone component’, it is important that it is understood that this skills class alone is not considered “therapy” and cannot replace a full DBT program or being described as “having had DBT”. The course is open to persons attending therapy with us or elsewhere in the community, or persons who are not currently in therapy. Please see our Fee Schedule page for pricing.
