Group Therapy
Group sessions are the heartbeat of IOP: three afternoons a week, teens learn DBT skills together and practice them between sessions. Teens bring back what worked, what didn't and what surprised them, and the group works through it together. That rhythm of trying things and processing them together is where a lot of the most meaningful growth happens.
Each session draws from four group types, because not everything worth learning can be talked through in a chair:
- Psychoeducational groups
- Skill-building groups
- Processing groups
- Experiential groups
Process groups keep a confidentiality rule: what's said in group stays in group, except when someone's safety is at risk. The peer dynamic isn't incidental: teens practice new skills on each other in real time and learn they aren't alone. The group isn't just a scheduling choice — it's one of the most effective therapeutic environments for teens at this stage of life.
