Skills Classes & Series

Skills Classes

There is something very powerful, affirming, and healing about being in a safe space with others who understand your struggle and empathize with your challenges. This is what our classes offer to the individuals we work with. We extend this same healing space for friends, family, graduates of our DBT programs, and those seeking stress reduction through mindfulness. It’s important to note that while we foster healing and growth through our skills classes, these classes should not be confused with “group therapy.” You do not need a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder to participate in our skills classes. DBT is available to anyone regardless of diagnosis.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Series

Next Start Date: Sept 8th, 2025, (no class on Thanksgiving Oct 13), Saturday Silent Mini-Retreat on October 25, 2025.

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.
