DBT Groups

Parenting & Process Groups

  • Our parenting group offers a supportive community for those navigating the unique challenges of raising adolescents and adult children. Drawing on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) principles, we provide practical strategies to enhance communication, set healthy boundaries, and manage emotional responses during times of conflict. Members will gain valuable skills for balancing validation with accountability while fostering independence in their growing children.

    Participants will develop a deeper understanding of adolescent and adult development, learn to recognize patterns in family dynamics, and acquire tools for self-care during stressful parenting moments. In our judgment-free environment, parents share experiences, celebrate successes, and work through difficulties together, creating a network of mutual support.

  • In conjunction with Valley Hospital's LGBTQIA+ Center, we are offering this free monthly support group for parents of trans kids and adults. Click here to find out more.

Trauma Groups

  • Led by Martha Jimenez, LCSW, SEP

    Are you tired of "talking around" your anxiety? Do you feel like your body is stuck in a cycle of stress, even when you know you are safe?

    Most traditional therapies focus on the mind, but trauma and chronic stress live in the nervous system. Led by Certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner Martha Jimenez, this 8-week virtual intensive is designed to help you move from a state of "survival" to a state of "regulation."

    What You Will Learn

    Unlike a typical support group, this is a skills-based clinical intensive. Over 8 weeks, we will use the principles of Somatic Experiencing® and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to:

    • Decode Your Nervous System: Learn to identify your body’s unique "Fight, Flight, and Freeze" signals before they become overwhelming.

    • Build Somatic Resources: Develop a personal "toolkit" of physical anchors to help you feel grounded in moments of high stress.

    • Complete the Stress Cycle: Understand how to gently release stored survival energy without becoming re-traumatized.

    • Expand Your Window of Tolerance: Increase your capacity for joy, connection, and calm by teaching your body that the "threat" is over.

    The Details

    • Who: Adults (NJ residents via telehealth).

    • When: 8 Consecutive Weeks

    • Investment: $125

    Stop managing your symptoms and start healing your system.
