Adolescent DBT Groups
A group Adolescent DBT workshop will be running at The Couch (Practice of Psychology and Psychiatry) over 12 consecutive weeks, with weekly 2 hour sessions. This outpatient group will be facilitated by Psychologist Melina Georgiou.
The workshop will focus on the four main modules of DBT: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
Participating teens will experience and learn:
- Greater impulse control
- Adapt to feeling emotions less intensely
- Distress tolerance
- Breaking negative behavioural patterns
- Reducing the potential for self-destructive behaviour
- Anxiety and stress management
- Building self-esteem
- Reducing reckless behaviour
- Improved decision-making skills
- Interpersonal effectiveness (personal relationship and social skills)
- Self-acceptance and awareness
- Effective communication with self and others
For our DBT group sessions, the total cost is R16 000. This amount includes an intake session along with 12 weekly sessions. A deposit is usually required after the intake session occurs and DBT group sessions are deemed a good fit. This deposit amounts to R4 000 (intake + first 2 sessions). The follow-ups will thereafter be R1 200 per session. Kindly note intakes cost R1 600. You will be able to claim a portion back from your medical aid.
