Current openings for August DBT group. DBT groups are recommended if you experience longstanding difficulties with managing emotions, such as intense negative emotions, emotional lability, suicidal and suicidal thoughts and behaviors, difficulty tolerating distress, and/or related problems in relationships. DBT is not recommended if you have prominent psychotic symptoms (e.g., diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder or schizophrenia), current alcohol or substance abuse, or significant cognitive or intellectual impairments as these symptoms may interfere with the capacity to learn and implement DBT skills. View 5 Photos All clients in our DBT groups must meet at least twice monthly with an individual therapist who is the primary point of contact and must commit to handling all crises. Clients must also be willing to commit to a 9-month course of skills group, including weekly attendance, completion of assigned homework, and active participation in group meetings. I do not have openings for individual therapy at this time but I recommend psychologists at Psychology Specialists of Maine.
