Cincinnati DBT Skills Groups for Teens & Adults

Available to teens & adults located in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and any other PSYPACT state

Our DBT Program Changes Lives

Here's what teens & adults say after they complete our program:

"I’ve been in a lot of group therapy programs and this has been the best group I’ve been in."

"If you stick to it and you make it work, it works."

"I’m so happy that I recommitted because the second round just made such a big difference.  I’m in a completely different place than I was then."

“Both of the DBT groups I’ve been in at Cincinnati Center for DBT have been some of the best groups I’ve ever been in.”

"I was a completely different person.   I've been doing therapy since I was in 7th grade but DBT has changed my life - completely changed my life.  I have this hope and this zest for life that I’ve never had before."

"I had started DBT as my last resort.  I had thought that I was going to struggle with mental illness for the rest of my life.  That’s bullshit.  It has changed my life to do the program and practice the skills. Then people around me noticed the changes."

"DBT has really helped me.  Without it, I probably wouldn't be here today.  Thank you, DBT."

"I feel like a completely different person than when I started.  I'm very grateful for this opportunity and wish everyone had this opportunity because it's life-changing."

"DBT has helped me grow as a person into a more healthy, more emotionally aware person."

“I don’t want to die all the time anymore.”

"This has absolutely been life-changing.  I keep saying to myself, 'I wish I found this 10 years ago.'  It just addressed so many of my core issues."

"I owe a lot to DBT.  DBT gave me a life-preserver to cling to to weather through the storm."

"I have done other therapies for years now and this has been a very life-changing thing for me."

"I feel more optimistic and like I have a handle on how to get more on track."

"These skills have been life-changing.  I can’t say that enough."

"I’m a completely different person now.  I can’t even imagine going back to where I was, when I was always either crying or smoking."

"I think the biggest thing is I just didn’t feel alone."

"I feel so lucky that I found you and this DBT group."

“You’re the best show in town."

"I initially was wary of the formatted structure of this but I think it paid off in the long run."

"I think it goes to show how staying committed to DBT and really working at it has effects that you don't even realize."

"I feel so much more capable as a person than I did before." 

"To have this available to me was a godsend."

"This has been the biggest blessing in my adult life. I’m so thankful for it."

"Radical acceptance is the biggest gift to me."

"I feel like I'm a very different person than when I started."

"These skills have really helped; these skills become second nature."

"I'm so fortunate I was able to find help, and people who were willing to support, and professionals who are willing to dedicate their time to this."

"I think the amount of work you put into this program is exactly what you’re going to get out of it, so don't half-ass it because this is your opportunity."

"Through the teachings, I have learned to realize what is happening inside of me and work through the issues with better communication. It is incredible!"

"The information I learned has helped in so many ways it astounds me."
