Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (RO DBT) in a group setting can be a helpful addition to individual therapy for teens and tweens. These treatments and methods give your child a chance to participate with others who might be going through similar things, and feel a sense of belonging. It also gives them a safe environment to practice some of the skills they learn at Mala. 

Groups require a 1-1.5 hour intake and assessment as well as a release of information form to allow us to collaborate with other care providers.

Note: to be part of group therapy, members need to commit to attend regularly every week for the whole period, attend willingly, and agree to our policy to not contact other members between groups.
