Practical Group Therapy for Real-World Change
What Are DBT Skills Groups in Calgary?
DBT Skills Groups at Broken Gold Counselling are 12-week, closed-enrolment programs delivered virtually for up to 10 participants. These groups provide a supportive, skills-based environment focused on four main areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Rooted in the restorative philosophy of Kintsugi, each session equips participants with actionable strategies to manage emotional dysregulation, navigate relationship challenges, and build resilience. Whether you’re a neurodiverse adult, a teen navigating big feelings, or someone seeking a concrete path for behavioural change, our DBT groups offer a structured path forward. Sessions are led by experienced clinicians using evidence-based curricula tailored to Calgary’s unique pressures—like seasonal mood shifts and workplace stress. This is not generic group therapy; it’s a dedicated space for real, measurable growth.
Evidence-Based, Compassionate Group Support
Why Choose Our DBT Skills Groups in Calgary?
Our DBT Skills Groups stand apart in Calgary by blending clinical rigour with the warmth and resilience of the Kintsugi approach. Participants benefit from a focused, goal-oriented structure that moves beyond ‘talk’ to real behavioural shifts. With a maximum of 10 members, each group fosters safety, accountability, and genuine connection—eliminating the ‘lost in the crowd’ feeling common in larger settings. Our facilitators have decades of combined experience in neurodiversity, trauma, and mood disorders, and are committed to making every minute count. Calgary’s fast-paced, high-stress environment demands more than generic advice; our virtual DBT groups are designed to meet you where you are, offering flexible evening hours and a curriculum shaped around local needs. The program is accessible across Alberta, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, ensuring you get expert support wherever you live.
