Welcome to the next step in your journey

Hello! I am so excited for you to be joining my DBT skills class. My name is Jordan Crosby (he/ him), and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My primary focus as a therapist is using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy with folks diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, PTSD, chronic suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, among others. I will be your skills class leader as you are completing stage 1 of DBT treatment.

Skills class is one of the four forms of DBT treatment that you will be receiving (individual therapy, phone coaching, and the therapist consultation team). Your skills class will be meeting on Thursdays from 5:30 to 6:30 PM. 

In this class, you’re going to be learning many skills, including Mindfulness skills, Distress Tolerance Skills, Emotional Regulation skills, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Dialectics, and Behavioral Strategies. Each of the aforementioned sets of skills will be broken down into modules that are several months long. At the beginning of each module, there will be an opportunity for new group members to join, while others may graduate upon completion of all modules. We are asking for completion of the full course, which will take approximately one year.

Along the top of the screen (if on a computer ) or in the top left, if you click on the three lines (on a phone or tablet), you'll see a menu of the different topic we'll be reviewing. Prior to group, please review at least the materials under the orientation tab marked with an asterisks (*). Other materials are optional but encouraged 😎
