Group DBT therapy

We offer an online Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills group led by Cara Miles, a registered clinical psychologist. This 22-week program covers essential DBT modules, including Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness, helping participants develop valuable coping skills. The group is educational in nature, with weekly live Zoom sessions featuring mindfulness practices, homework reviews, and skill-building exercises. While not a comprehensive DBT program or a substitute for individual therapy, this group provides a supportive space for learning and growth.

Dialectical behavior therapy is a modular treatment consisting of a combination of approaches. It can include individual psychotherapy, group skills, modeling, instructions, stories, behavioral rehearsal, feedback and coaching, and homework assignments.

Clients who undertake DBT-based supportive psychotherapy are empowered with the following skills:

mindfulness
interpersonal effectiveness
emotional regulation
distress tolerance

Once off assessments

We offer comprehensive 50-minute psychiatric consultations for patients seeking a thorough assessment and personalized management plan. During these one-time evaluations, our experienced psychiatrists will carefully review the patient's mental health history, current symptoms, and overall well-being. We take a holistic approach, considering biological, psychological, and social factors to gain a complete understanding of each patient's unique needs. Based on this assessment, we will develop an individualized treatment plan, which may include recommendations for medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, and coordination with other healthcare providers. Our goal is to provide patients with the insights and strategies they need to achieve optimal mental health.

Ongoing Psychiatric Care

For patients who require ongoing support, we provide 30 to 60-minute follow-up consultations to ensure continuity of care and the best possible outcomes. Our psychiatrists work closely with patients to monitor progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and address any new concerns that may arise. We collaborate with the patient's primary care physician and other members of their healthcare team to ensure a coordinated, comprehensive approach to care. During these regular visits, we assess the effectiveness of medications, provide psychotherapy, and offer guidance on self-care and coping strategies. Our aim is to build strong, trusting relationships with our patients, empowering them to take an active role in their mental health journey.
