Managing emotions that feel out of control — snapping at people you care about, finding yourself in crisis over and over, feeling like you can't trust your own reactions — usually takes more than a weekly appointment can address alone. Learn to Fly is the full DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) program: a structured combination of individual therapy, a weekly skills group, and between-session coaching access, running over six months to a year.

In the skills group, you'll learn practical tools organized into four areas: grounding yourself in the present moment, getting through hard situations without making them worse, understanding and shifting emotional reactions, and navigating relationships more effectively. Individual therapy runs in parallel, helping you connect those skills to your specific history and patterns.

This is designed for adults who are ready to commit to consistent, sustained work. The structure is intensive by design — and that's part of what makes it work. By the end, you'll have a concrete set of skills you've practiced repeatedly, and a clearer foundation for building a life that feels worth living.

If you've been meaning to learn better coping skills but can't commit to a longer program right now, Flight Lessons offers a way in. This adult group runs as three standalone modules — each covering one section of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) skills, the practical tools developed for people who feel emotions intensely or find themselves stuck in patterns they can't break.

Each module is eight weeks and self-contained, so you can start at any point in the cycle and continue for as many modules as make sense for you. Sessions follow a consistent format: a skill is introduced, worked through in group, and connected to real situations participants are navigating. The group is small enough to allow actual conversation, not just instruction.

You'll leave each module with a specific, usable set of tools — ways to slow down a reaction before it escalates, techniques for getting through a hard moment without making it worse, or clearer strategies for asking for what you need in relationships.

Completing a DBT program doesn't mean the work stops — it means the structure changes. After intensive treatment ends, it can be hard to maintain gains on your own. Skills drift. Old patterns resurface. The accountability that made the program work disappears.

Take Flight is a weekly continuing-care group for adults who have completed a DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) program. Each session revisits skills from across the program, works through current challenges, and gives participants space for honest conversation about what's hard and what's holding. It's peer-driven — not a re-run of the original curriculum, but a regular place to keep your tools sharp and your progress intact.

Sessions are structured around what participants bring that week: a relationship conflict, a skill that's slipping, an emotion that's been harder to manage. You'll leave each session with a clearer sense of where you stand — and the ongoing support of people who understand what the full program required.

When someone you love is hurting themselves, or has been through repeated crises, it can feel like there's no right thing to say or do. Responding too strongly seems to make things worse; saying nothing feels impossible. Safe Harbor is designed for families living with that kind of fear and uncertainty.

This group is for parents, partners, and caregivers of someone — child or adult — who is dealing with suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or recurring crisis. Each session builds practical skills for responding in those moments: how to have the conversation, when to step back, and what actually helps reduce escalation. The format combines structured skill-building with time to talk honestly with other families navigating the same situation.

The program gives everyone in the household a common language and a clearer set of responses — so the moments that used to feel like emergencies become more manageable.

Offered in May, August, and November.

When your adult child is stuck — not working, not moving forward, maybe barely leaving the house — the situation tends to pull at you constantly. You've tried encouraging them, you've tried stepping back, and neither seems to change anything. Fledglings is a group for parents of adult children navigating this dynamic.

The group draws on DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and SPACE, an approach focused on how a parent's responses can shift the patterns keeping a child stuck. You're not trying to fix your child in this group — you're looking at what you can actually change: your own responses, your communication, and the way the dynamic plays out at home.

Sessions run over five weeks in a small group. Each session introduces a specific skill or strategy, with time to work through how it applies to your family's situation. Other parents in the group are dealing with similar dynamics, which means conversations tend to get real quickly.

By the end, you'll have a clearer set of tools for responding when your child shuts down, escalates, or refuses help — and a better sense of where your influence actually lies.

Offered in March, July, and October.

Teens who struggle with big emotional reactions, conflict with family or friends, or feeling out of control often know something needs to change — they just don't have the tools yet. Rising Wings is a skills-focused group built around how teens actually think and communicate, not how adults wish they would.

Using DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) — an approach originally developed for people who feel emotions more intensely than average — the group covers four skill areas over nine weeks: staying grounded in the moment, getting through hard situations without making them worse, understanding and shifting emotional reactions, and handling conflict in relationships.

Each session introduces a skill, works through it with real examples, and gives teens a chance to practice before they need it. The format is direct and low-pressure — skills are explained plainly, and teens are expected to engage, not just listen.

By the end of the program, teens have a concrete set of tools they've actually used in group. Most leave with a noticeably better handle on what to do when emotions spike — and more confidence in how they handle situations that used to send them sideways.

When trauma and substance use show up together — which they often do — it's hard to get traction on either one without addressing both. Seeking Safety is a structured group for adults working to build more personal safety in their daily life, whether that means staying away from substances, breaking out of risky patterns, or simply getting through the day without falling back into what used to feel like the only way to cope.

The group uses a specific, well-researched skills curriculum focused on coping strategies — concrete tools for managing triggers, urges, and unsafe situations without relying on the behaviors that have been causing harm. Sessions follow a consistent structure: a skill is introduced, discussed, and connected to situations participants are actually navigating.

Seeking Safety works well alongside individual therapy and doesn't require participants to have completed trauma treatment first. The focus is on present safety — not on processing what happened, but on building the stability needed to eventually do that work.

Over the course of the group, participants build a set of go-to strategies for the moments that used to reliably derail them.

Some teens shut down in traditional therapy. Sitting across from an adult and being asked to talk about their feelings doesn't work for everyone — and it doesn't have to. The Teen TTRPG Group is built around tabletop roleplaying games: the kind where you create a character, roll dice, work together to solve problems, and build a story as a group.

The game is the format, not just an activity. Character creation builds self-reflection in a low-stakes way. Collaborative storytelling creates real situations where social skills matter — taking turns, reading the room, managing frustration, advocating for your character (and yourself). Problem-solving with a group turns real social challenges into something teens can practice live, with support.

This group is for teens who learn better by doing than by talking about doing. It works particularly well for teens dealing with social anxiety, difficulty connecting with peers, or who have felt out of place in group formats before. Sessions are weekly and run with a small group. No experience with tabletop games is needed.

By the end, most participants have built real connections within the group — and a noticeably more confident sense of how to show up in social situations outside it.

One of the hardest things about teaching a teen coping skills is what happens at home after the session. If the adult in their life isn't using the same language or the same tools, the skills stay stuck in the therapy room.

Soaring Together is the only group we offer in a multi-family format: teens and their caregivers attend every session together and learn DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) skills side by side. The goal is for the whole household to have a shared set of tools — so when things get hard at 9pm on a Tuesday, everyone knows what to do.

The program covers all four DBT skill areas over 24 weeks: staying grounded in the moment, managing crises without escalating them, understanding emotional reactions, and navigating conflict in relationships. Each week pairs skill instruction with family application, so the skills get practiced in the context of your actual household — not just taught in the abstract.

A caregiver must commit to attending every session alongside the teen. This program works best for teens dealing with frequent emotional crises, significant parent-teen conflict, or patterns that have stayed stuck despite individual therapy.

Making friends can feel harder for some kids than it looks. Whether it's not knowing how to start a conversation, falling apart when things don't go their way, or ending up left out even when they want to connect — these are real struggles, and they don't usually get easier on their own.

Social Skills for Kids is a small group for children ages 8–11 that builds social skills through guided play and structured peer interaction, not worksheets or lectures. Each session focuses on one concrete skill — how to join a group that's already playing, how to take turns without getting frustrated, how to recover when something goes wrong — and kids practice it live, with each other.

The group format is intentional. Kids aren't just hearing about how to handle a situation; they're navigating real moments with real peers, with a therapist in the room to help them work through it.

By the end of the program, most kids have noticeably more confidence starting conversations, handling frustration, and staying connected when things get bumpy. They leave with tools they've actually used — not just concepts they've heard about.

A brief intake is required before joining.
