Glad you're here!

We are excited to once again offer Parent Circle workshops!  Together with other parents and our skilled clinicians, you’ll learn how to incorporate the principles and techniques of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). 

DBT is a compassionate, evidence-based form of treatment that focuses on behavior change as well as validation and acceptance. You’ll be able to better manage intense emotions, develop greater self-awareness, enhance attention and improve relationships.

​

Our Fall groups have begun, but not to worry - we will be offering sessions in the Winter and Spring.  Please fill out the interest form below, and we'll be sure to reach out to you!  

IS THE PARENT CIRCLE RIGHT FOR YOU?
(The answer is YES.)

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., 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!”
