This Series kicks off with an intensive DBT Core Principles course — part of Grouport's structured DBT skills and training curriculum — which will help you begin to transform your mental health.
Every week you’ll join a close-knit group of individuals virtually who will provide encouragement and accountability as you explore DBT essentials.
The DBT Core Principles course is a required first step before you unlock the next Group Series group level, where we dive deeper into the methodology and practical applications that make DBT so successful.

AFTER COMPLETING THE DBT CORE PRINCIPLES COURSE,
you'll unlock the next Grouport Series levels where we will:
Grouport's DBT program for BPD pairs a licensed clinician with a consistent weekly group of up to 15 classmates, built around a 12-week DBT Core Principles course covering Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Emotion Regulation. Sessions are led by licensed clinicians including Susana Potter, LMHC, BC-DMT, and Dr. Stephanie Scott, LMHC. Completing the course unlocks a deeper next-level group focused on stronger boundaries and consistent emotional regulation, making this one of the more structured, evidence-based DBT options built specifically for BPD.
For BPD specifically, DBT is generally the more effective, targeted approach, since it was developed to treat the emotional dysregulation and unstable relationships at the disorder's core.
1. Includes distress tolerance and crisis survival skills that standard CBT doesn't emphasize as heavily.
2. Adds interpersonal effectiveness training aimed directly at the relationship instability common in BPD.
3. Usually layered alongside CBT rather than used as a full replacement.
4. Grouport's BPD program is built entirely around this DBT-specific framework
Check three things before enrolling: is it led by a licensed clinician, is the curriculum BPD-specific rather than a generic overview, and how small is the group? Grouport's BPD series is led by clinicians including Susana Potter, LMHC, BC-DMT and Dr. Stephanie Scott, LMHC, capped at 15 classmates, and structured around a 12-week DBT Core Principles course. A broader general DBT series is also available if BPD isn't your specific diagnosis, so you're not stuck choosing the wrong-fit program.
No, Grouport doesn't accept insurance for this program, but it's FSA/HSA eligible and priced flat: $299 upfront for the first 3 months (the DBT Core Principles course), then $100 at the start of each month-long billing cycle after that. No insurance pre-authorization, diagnosis codes, or claims process is required to enroll, and you can cancel anytime, though amounts already paid aren't refunded. This keeps costs predictable without needing approval from an insurance provider first.
Not as a fully individualized 1:1 treatment plan, this is a shared 12-week curriculum every member goes through together, rather than a plan written around only your specific symptoms.
1. A capped, close-knit group of up to 15 classmates for real weekly participation and mutual encouragement.
2. The same clinician each week, tracking your progress and patterns over time.
3. Light weekly reflection exercises tied to that week's specific material.
4. Pair with individual therapy separately for a fully individualized treatment plan built around you.
This program is built for structured, ongoing skills-building through the DBT Core Principles course, not crisis-level or intensive care. For adults managing more severe or destabilizing BPD symptoms, Grouport's virtual Intensive Outpatient Program offers a higher level of support with multiple weekly sessions and both group and individual components. Many members use this weekly DBT group afterward, once symptoms stabilize. If you're currently in crisis, please contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline instead.
No, this specific program is group-only, one weekly virtual session with the same licensed clinician and up to 15 classmates, with no individual sessions bundled in. Many members choose to combine this DBT group with Grouport's individual therapy separately, using the group for structured DBT skill-building and individual sessions for more personal, one-on-one processing. The two programs aren't packaged together, but nothing stops you from enrolling in both at the same time.
This is an outpatient program, one weekly virtual session from home rather than a live-in residential setting, which changes the level of commitment involved.
1. No inpatient stay, or time away from work and daily responsibilities.
2. Weekly sessions built for ongoing, long-term skill-building rather than short-term stabilization.
3. Flat $299 for the first 3 months, then $100/month, well below typical residential program costs.
4. Residential care is generally reserved for situations requiring 24/7 monitoring or supervision.
Grouport tracks outcomes through internal studies and research collaborations with Carnegie Mellon, the University of Essex, and the University of Cologne, rather than relying on marketing claims. Across its member base, 80% start treatment with moderate to severe symptoms, 70% see a clinically significant improvement within 8 weeks, 50% reach remission-level symptoms, and 90% say they'd be disappointed to lose access. These figures reflect Grouport overall, not this BPD program specifically, but offer a reasonable indicator of results.
No, this DBT program is talk-and-skills-based group therapy, not a psychiatric service, so it's worth knowing what it doesn't include before enrolling.
1. Sessions focus specifically on DBT skills, led by a licensed clinician trained in the methodology.
2. Facilitators are not prescribing psychiatrists and do not manage medication.
3. Medication management would need to be coordinated separately with a psychiatric provider.
4. Grouport's individual therapy is another talk-therapy option, also without prescribing services included
Yes, this entire program runs virtually over a secure Zoom link, with a reminder email sent 24 hours before each weekly session containing your unique meeting link. Sessions are led live by a licensed clinician rather than pre-recorded, so it functions as genuine teletherapy instead of a static video course you watch alone. This format works well for anyone managing a busy schedule, since you can join from home, work, or anywhere with a private internet connection.
Getting started is fairly direct. After enrolling, your card is billed $299 upfront for the first 3-month DBT Core Principles course, and you'll receive a reminder email 24 hours before each weekly session containing your unique Zoom link. Sessions continue weekly with the same clinician and up to 15 classmates, and billing shifts to $100/month once the initial 3 months are complete. There's no separate intake assessment required beyond enrolling and joining your first session.
No, this DBT program is an individual-enrollment group series and doesn't include a family therapy component as part of the package. If involving family members matters to your specific situation, Grouport offers family therapy as a completely separate service, which can be used alongside this DBT group rather than bundled into it. The two would simply need to be enrolled in independently, based on what your household actually needs.
Missing an occasional session won't set you back or cost you your spot in the group, since there's a built-in way to catch back up.
1. Read through that week's course manual at your own pace.
2. Catch up on the material before the following week's session begins.
3. Stay on track through the full 3-month DBT Core Principles course.
4. Built-in flexibility for a busy schedule, travel, or unpredictable life events
Yes, DBT skills apply broadly beyond BPD specifically, and many members use this structured group to build coping skills for anxiety as well. The core modules, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance in particular, target the same intense, hard-to-manage emotional states common to both conditions. This specific series is framed around BPD, though, so if that's not your primary concern, Grouport's general DBT series may be a more natural fit.
