Group Enrollment:
Build a Life That Works
Gain the tools you need to stop reacting and start living with intention.
Most people come to therapy because they’re tired of how they feel, but they don’t always know how to change what they’re doing. These groups are where you learn the actual mechanics of change. We don’t just talk about your week; we give you a clear set of skills to handle your emotions, your relationships, and your stress.
The 3-Step Path to Joining a Group
I keep groups small and focused. Because this is active training, I want to make sure the group you choose is exactly what you need right now.
1.
Start the Conversation
Fill out the brief Group Inquiry Form. This gives me a baseline understanding of what you’re dealing with and what you’re hoping to change.
2.
A Quick Call
We’ll schedule a short, 15-minute phone call. We’ll talk about your goals and make sure the group's curriculum is the right fit for your situation.
3.
Get started
Once we confirm the fit, I'll set up your client portal, where you'll complete the necessary paperwork and schedule an intake appointment where we'll cover everything you need to hit the ground running in your first group session.
Practical Answers for Real Concerns
Do I have to tell the group my life story?
No. This is a Skills Training Group, not a processing group. We focus on the tools, not the narrative. While we use examples to practice the skills, you are never expected to share private details or past experiences. Think of it more like a workshop where we’re all learning a new language for handling life.
NEW! Friendshipping group: Weekly sessions involve a mix of group discussion and active skill-building. Group members are encouraged to actively participate in discussions, but you will never be pressured to share private details or past experiences.
Why do DBT Skills groups virtually?
Convenience and reality. Meeting online means no Tulsa traffic and no rushing to an office during your lunch break. More importantly, you’re learning these tools in your own home or office—the exact places where you actually need to use them.
If I'm already in individual therapy, should I do group therapy?
While some clients benefit from doing both individual and group therapy at the same time, others may choose one or the other depending on their immediate needs. If you are currently seeing a therapist, ask them to give you their professional opinion based on what they know about you. If you are engaged in individual DBT therapy, adding on a skills group is a great choice, and a requirement for DBT Intensive clients.
Can I use insurance?
All groups are a self-pay service. This allows us to stick to the curriculum and focus on your progress without an insurance company requiring a specific diagnosis or limiting how we work. It keeps the focus on the results.
What is the actual commitment?
I offer three modules: Distress Tolerance (9 weeks), Interpersonal Effectiveness (9 weeks), and Emotion Regulation (11 weeks). Sessions are 60 minutes long, every Friday at 12:00 PM. It’s one hour a week dedicated to building a foundation that lasts a lifetime. Group sessions are $35.
NEW! Friendshipping group: Sessions are 75 minutes long, every Monday at 5:30 PM. Group sessions are $45
The Efficient Path to Change
While my individual sessions are a $175 investment for focused, one-on-one work, these groups offer a unique advantage:
-
A Clear Map: Groups follow a specific curriculum. We don’t get sidetracked by the "crisis of the week," so you’re guaranteed to learn the full set of tools.
-
Real-World Practice: Seeing how others apply these skills gives you a perspective you can't get in a one-on-one room.
-
Build Your Foundation: Skills training sessions are the most efficient way to acquire the "manual for your brain," allowing your individual therapy sessions to be even more productive.
