Preparing for Take-Off: A Class for Parents and Caretakers with Children in Treatment
New group now forming
This class is for parents and caretakers of “emotional supersensors” — kids under age 17 who experience highly sentitive reactions, huge emotional fluctuations, and difficulty returning to baseline. This class teaches parents to regulate themselves and their children.
TEEN-FAMILY DBT SKILLS GROUP
Wednesdays and Thursdays 4:30-6:00 pm
Teens, aged 14-18 and parents participate together in this 24 session DBT skills group. Teens and parents learn to communicate effectively, regulate their emotions and tolerate distress.
The goal of this skills group is to help teens and parents discover a middle path to:
~ avoid power struggles
~ better understand each other
~ bring peace back into the home.
DBT FOR YOUNG ADULTS
Fridays 3-4:30 pm
St Louis DBT offers a more active and hands-on DBT for Young Adults Skills Group for individuals ages 17 to 26. Groups contain the same skills as the adult groups but are geared toward the challenges of transitioning into "adulting". This group is ongoing and people can join anytime. An intake assessment must be completed before joining any of our groups.

BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER LOVED ONES SUPPORT
New group forming now!
If you have a person with extreme emotion dysregulation in your life, YOU are on the frontlines. You may find yourself constantly bombarded with anger outbursts you can’t identify the cause or origin of. You watch your loved one spiral day after day and anytime you offer a fix, they seem to spiral faster and further. You may fear coming home, not knowing which version of your loved one you are going to find there. While your loved one’s therapist or doctor gets to “set boundaries” and take breaks, you are never off duty. You need respite, validation, and answers. This is your group. These are your people!
RADICALLY OPEN DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOR THERAPY
New Group Forming Now
Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT) is an evidence-based adaptation of standard DBT developed specifically to treat disorders of over-control. Although high self-control is generally thought to be a good quality, research shows that too much self-control can actually become problematic. Over-control is associated with emotional loneliness, social isolation, and difficulty connecting to others and developing intimate social bonds.
Equine-Facilitated DBT
New groups forming now
Powerful lessons come from powerful teachers. Equine-facilitated Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers opportunities to learn and practice new ways of coping with strong emotions and crises, improving relationships, and creating space for mindfulness and self-discovery. We have EF-DBT groups that meet each week at the barn while some of our other virtual and in-person groups will have opportunities to go to the barns to practice what they have learned in their classrooms.
