Beginning on 2/2, Through Liberty Counseling will be hosting a group for teens that is aimed at self-regulation and connection with others.
Taught by: Kenzy Miller, MSW
Format: Virtual
Time: 5:00 PM on Mondays
Cost: $25 per class
This is a skills-based group for teens focused on building emotional regulation, body awareness, and healthy connection with others. The group integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills with a polyvagal-informed approach, helping teens understand both their emotions and their nervous system responses.
What are DBT Skills?
DBT skills are practical tools that help people manage strong emotions, cope with stress, improve relationships, and make thoughtful choices rather than reacting impulsively.
What is the Polyvagal Theory?
The Polyvagal Theory explains how our nervous system responds to safety and stress, and how learning to feel safe in our body helps us think clearly, calm down, and connect with others.
Class Structure:
Review last week’s skill and how it was used in real life
Learn a new skill
Practice the skill together
Make a plan for using the skill over the next week
This group is supportive, structured, and skills-focused, with an emphasis on helping teens better understand themselves and feel more in control of their emotions and reactions.
FAQ
Insurance is not accepted, as this is a class rather than group therapy. We have priced this in hopes of being in the ballpark of a typical copay!
While this is not therapy, there are confidential topics discussed. Because of this we hold our staff and students to the same standard of confidentiality as group therapy would require!
While you do not need to have an individual therapist or provider outside of this program, it is sometimes helpful to have an individual support throughout the week as you work to implement the skills in the community!
Adult Group
We will be offering this group (with minor adjustments) for adult women beginning in late February. The adult class will be in-person in our Bedford office.
We will be offering this group for adult men beginning in early March and the location is TBD.
