DBT Skills Group for High Achieving Professionals
Evidence-based skills for emotional regulation, boundaries, and burnout recovery
You’ve checked all the boxes, but you’re running on empty. This class helps high-performing professionals like you regulate emotions, prevent burnout, and improve relationships without sacrificing success.
Does this sound like you?
You’re smart, motivated, and driven. But lately, you're overwhelmed, anxious, and running on fumes. You feel burnt out despite being successful. Maybe you’re the person everyone relies on. You make it look easy until the late nights, racing thoughts, and pressure to be perfect catch up with you.
You might be:
Powering through work but constantly anxious or irritable
Struggling to rest because your brain won’t turn off
Feeling like you’re always “on” and never really relaxed
Wondering if you’re one mistake away from everything crumbling
You’re not weak. You’re not broken. You just need skills that help you feel steady, no matter how busy life gets.
This group is for people like you: smart, caring, driven…and overwhelmed.
What Is a DBT?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based therapy approach developed by psychologist Marsha Linehan that teaches real-world techniques to manage emotions, reduce reactivity, improve relationships, and increase mindfulness. Originally created to help people manage intense emotions and impulsive behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has since been adapted to support a wide range of individuals, including high-achieving professionals who want more control, clarity, and resilience in their daily lives.
A DBT Skills Group is psychoeducational course. In our group you’ll learn how to change behavioral, emotional, thinking, and interpersonal patterns that keep you stuck in stress, burnout, and reactivity. This isn’t just about symptom relief, it’s about learning to live in alignment with your values and long-term goals.
In this DBT Skills Group, you will learn how to:
Live in line with your values instead of reacting out of stress or habit
Enhance your sense of self and build stronger, more connected relationships
Increase awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors
Respond thoughtfully rather than impulsively in high-stakes moments
Cope with life’s stressors using healthy, effective tools
Rebuild trust in yourself, your choices, boundaries, and emotions
The result? More calm. More confidence. More clarity.
Whether you're managing a demanding workload, navigating complex relationships, or trying to stop burnout before it takes hold, these skills meet you right where you are and help you grow from there.

The Four Core Modules Taught in a DBT Skills Group
Mindfulness
What it is:
The practice of paying attention to the present moment, noticing your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Why it matters:
Mindfulness builds focus and clarity, especially useful in high-stress roles. These tools can help professionals respond with intention instead of reacting impulsively under pressure.
Distress Tolerance
What it is:
The ability to survive a crisis moment without making things worse. This module emphasizes acceptance, resilience, and short-term coping tools.
Why it matters:
Deadlines, difficult conversations, and unexpected changes are unavoidable in professional life. Skills like radical acceptance, distraction, and self-soothing help you navigate chaos without burning out or self-sabotaging.
Emotion Regulation
What it is:
A set of skills to help you identify, understand, and manage intense emotions, while increasing the capacity to feel positive ones.
Why it matters:
High achievers often wrestle with anger, shame, or anxiety. These emotions, if not managed, can lead to fatigue, reactivity, and detachment. DBT helps reduce emotional volatility so you can stay clear-headed and confident.
Interpersonal Effectiveness
What it is:
Communication strategies for asserting your needs, setting boundaries, and maintaining healthy, respectful relationships.
Why it matters:
If you’re tired of people-pleasing, over-explaining, or avoiding conflict, this is your toolkit. Learn the skills to communicate clearly, hold your ground, and build stronger connections at work and at home.

Burn out and disconnect from your work or loved ones
Struggle with chronic health or sleep issues
Miss out on the joy and meaning you’ve worked so hard to create
Feel isolated, resentful, or numb but too afraid to slow down
