DBT
Master Your Mind, Transform Your Life
DBT goes beyond just "listening to problems" — it's about paving the road to a better quality of life
We offer a compassionate and collaborative approach to help you develop the skills to manage intense emotions, improve your relationships, tolerate distress, and practice mindfulness.
We provide support for those struggling with:
- Overwhelming emotions like panic attacks, intense sadness, or uncontrollable anger
- Impulsive behavior that may lead to negative consequences
- Self-harm or risky behaviors
- Difficulty managing stress and staying calm under pressure

What Happens in a DBT Session
We take a person-centered approach to therapy. We build strong relationships with our patients, creating a safe and supportive space where they can feel heard and understood.
Our DBT sessions typically begins with a mindfulness check-in. We’ll ask you to take a moment to reflect on your current emotional state.
Next, we’ll review any homework assignments from the previous session. This might involve discussing your progress, addressing any challenges, or delving deeper into a specific skill or concept.
We’ll then open up the floor for you to share your experiences from the past week. This could include discussing a particular event, a challenging situation, or a personal triumph. We’ll work together to understand your thoughts and feelings, and explore ways to apply DBT skills to these experiences.
Finally, we’ll conclude the session by discussing potential homework assignments, which may involve practicing mindfulness exercises, journaling, or role-playing specific scenarios.
Note: While we offer comprehensive DBT services, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our patients. If you are experiencing a crisis or are at risk of harming yourself or others, please seek immediate help from a crisis hotline or emergency services.
Calm the Storm and Find Your Peace
At Allied Psychotherapy Group, we believe that everyone deserves to feel heard and understood. If you’re struggling with intense emotions, impulsive behavior, or difficulty managing stress, our DBT NYC program can help.

It is for people who want to feel more comfortable and confident connecting with others, including people experiencing social anxiety, difficulty managing relationships, or challenges navigating social situations. Members build self-expression and meaningful connections in a safe, structured setting.
Who is the DBT Group for?
This group is designed for individuals who want to learn and practice essential skills for managing emotions, improving relationships, and building distress tolerance. This group is meant for anyone interested in learning DBT skills to manage difficult emotions, reduce maladaptive behaviors, and improve their quality of life.
Who is the BIPOC Therapy Group for?
It is a supportive, affirming space for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to connect with others who may share some of the challenges of navigating identity, culture, relationships, family expectations, work, and everyday life.

Group therapy helps you build connection with people who share similar experiences, gain new perspectives from other members' coping strategies, and practice expressing yourself and listening in a supportive setting.
