Group Therapy
PRIME specializes in group therapy.
We pride ourselves in offering an array of groups that target specific needs.
Our fully licensed staff facilitates each group and specializes in the modalities of DBT, LQBTQ+ Affirmative Therapy, Meditation, and Yoga. Our peer groups learn skills to process emotions and life situations and support each other through one's therapeutic journey.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Prime Therapy offers an outpatient DBT group for various ages and populations. DBT group is a place where individuals interact with peers to enhance their learning experience. Our clinicians teach various skills from the DBT modules of Distress Tolerance, Emotional Regulation, Mindfulness, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. In addition, we teach walking the middle path, help increase self-awareness, and guide the emotional regulation process. Group members will receive a skills training binder filled with worksheets, weekly skills practice guides, and various other approaches like art, music, movement, meditation, and more. We practice these skills to connect the core concepts of DBT to each individual's goals, priorities, and values, whether it be to address our anxiety and depression, or to have better relationships with family and friends. Each group practices these skills at different levels to match their current experience in life.

Learning the Art of Meditation
Meditation is a way to help us come into the least excited state of being. Meditation helps us to regulate our emotions, like becoming more patient with ourselves and others. It helps us regulate our body responses from flight and flight to calm and peaceful. In this group, we will cover all aspects of meditation and guide you through the meditation practice. The main concepts are relaxation, breathing, awareness, and focus. This is an inner journey to bring you into a peaceful state within both body and mind.
​
To gain the knowledge provided through meditation we must practice!

​This group meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays at noon.
