are you ready
to feel better?

That happens to be our specialty.

If it feels like weekly 50 minute therapy has not been enough to help you live the life you want, then this program may be for you.

  • Perhaps you don’t understand why weekly therapy hasn’t been “enough” to help you reach your goals of living life to its fullest

  • Maybe you need a lot of help and guidance right now and don’t want to spend months - or years - In therapy when you can dive right in with us on an expedited journey

  • Or you might be someone who likes the idea of an intensive program to help you save time (and money!) while growing in community with others on their healing journeys

what is Well Equipped?

Well Equipped is a

DBT ADHERENT PROGRAM

DBT adherent treatment consists of four components:

  • Group skills training:
    At Well Equipped, you’ll participate in nine hours of group therapy a week. We’ll do a deep dive and teach you specific tactics to manage emotions, cope with stress, and improve relationships.

  • Individual attention:
    During weekly one-on-one case management sessions with a DBT trained therapist, you’ll focus on identifying and addressing specific challenges with new skills and perspective.

  • In the moment coaching:
    You’ll have access to a DBT therapist in between sessions, to provide support and guidance during times of crisis or when you’re struggling with a specific issue.

  • Consultation team:
    Know that your therapist is giving you the most effective treatment possible. They attend consultation team meetings to receive ongoing support and guidance from a DBT certified trainer.

These components work together to provide a

comprehensive and individualized approach to treatment.

But wait! There’s more…

what will I learn?

  • Do you struggle asking for what you want, setting boundaries, repairing relationships that are worth repairing, or do you just want to get better at communicating? DBT has a skill for that.

  • These skills help you know what you’re feeling (sometimes that can be confusing, am I right?). They’ll also help you act in your best interest (even when you feel like saying f it), and cultivate more good vibes (and who couldn’t use more good vibes?).

  • Ever feel like everything is out of control and nothing is ok? Maybe you’ve even ended up hurting yourself or doing something you really wish you hadn’t. Distress tolerance skills help you find possibility when everything seems hopeless.

  • Mindfulness skills help you cultivate a more mindful and accepting way of relating to yourself and the world. With practice, mindfulness can become a valuable tool for reducing emotional reactivity, enhancing self-awareness, and fostering a sense of calm, and balance.

You are the sky. Everything else—it’s just the weather.
