Stay tuned for Fall 2024 Offerings!

LMCCC's Circle programming offers short-term workshops that incorporate the principles and techniques of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help participants manage intense emotions, develop greater self-awareness, enhance attention and improve relationships. DBT is a practical, evidence-based treatment that teaches skills for approaching emotional struggles in a non-judgmental and effective way.

​

Participation in our workshops provides family members with a shared language and toolbox of skills, which can supplement and be reinforced in individual and/or family therapy when needed. For a skills refresher, check out some of the resources on our skills page.

​

The Circle groups are co-led by our DBT team: Joan Chess, School Psychologist, Christine Danberg, LCSW, Alan Dienstag, Psy.D., Lisa Feldman, MFT and Katie Sawyer, Ph.D.

“The Parent Circle was a great way to connect with other families experiencing similar challenges to ours and learn new skills to successfully parent our son. The classes made me a more mindful parent and made me feel more in control at home. And I love the leaders!”
