QUEER DBT SKILLS GROUP
At our practice, we offer Queer DBT Skills Group, an affirming and inclusive Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) group program specifically designed for individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ / queer. This group provides a supportive space where participants can learn practical emotional regulation skills while being understood within the context of their unique identities, experiences, and challenges. Our Queer DBT therapy group in Ontario combines evidence-based DBT skills training with a culturally responsive and identity-affirming approach to support mental health and emotional well-being.
Small steps forward are still progress. Every moment of self-care is an investment in your well-being.
Many queer individuals experience unique stressors, including minority stress, identity-related challenges, discrimination, stigma, family or relationship difficulties, and barriers to accessing affirming mental health care. Our Queer DBT Skills Group supports individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, emotion regulation difficulties, trauma-related symptoms, self-esteem challenges, interpersonal relationship struggles, self-harm behaviours, suicidal thoughts, and difficulties managing intense emotions. DBT is particularly helpful for individuals who feel overwhelmed by their emotions, experience frequent mood changes, struggle with distress tolerance, or want to develop healthier ways of responding to life's challenges.
Through this DBT skills group for LGBTQ+ individuals, participants will learn the four core DBT skill areas: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. These skills help individuals understand their emotions, manage overwhelming feelings, communicate their needs more effectively, build healthier relationships, and develop greater self-compassion. Participants will have the opportunity to practice skills in a supportive group environment while connecting with others who share similar lived experiences.
