DBT Skills Group (Level 2): Living the Skills is a 12-week, closed skills group is designed specifically for individuals who have completed Level 1 and are ready to deepen their practice. Led by Kelly Karydis, MHC-LP, this cohort focuses on advanced DBT application, bridging the gap between clinical theory and daily living.While Level 1 focuses on foundational tools, Level 2 is built for those ready to move from "learning" to "mastering" their emotional landscape. Using a trauma-informed structure, we move at a pace that allows for genuine integration, helping you navigate emotional intensity, relationship patterns, and internal distress with greater consistency.
Participants will refine their ability to:
Implement advanced emotional regulation tools in real-time.
Apply distress tolerance strategies for high-stakes moments.
Navigate relationship dynamics and boundary-setting with confidence.
Reduce shame by replacing avoidance with actionable skills.
Leave each session with concrete, personalized practices for the week ahead.
