​Austin DBT Groups

Jennifer Wu has been leading DBT Skills Groups in private practice for over 15 years. Through this experience, she has seen how making the DBT Skills group the main modality of treatment is how her clients truly make progress and momentum in learning how to cope with their triggers, intense emotions, work through past trauma, and improve the quality of their lives and relationships.  

​

 Jennifer is passionate about leading DBT skills groups due to the effectiveness of seeing clients gain more confidence in learning and implementing coping skills in their natural environment.   Group therapy also provides a space for helping clients connect, grow in insight and awareness, and learn from others.  Other groups that Jennifer provides include DBT Advanced Groups (for clients who have completed the 8 month skills group), DBT in-person Process Groups, and RO-DBT Skills Groups for clients who struggle with over-control, avoidant, and perfectionistic tendencies.   

​​

Jennifer received her Masters of Science in Social Work in 2002 from the University of Texas at Austin.  Prior to being in private practice,  Jennifer's experience includes Seton Shoal Creek Hospital providing group therapy and Cedar Springs Eating Disorder Clinic providing DBT therapy groups. Jennifer was intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in 2008 through Behavioral Tech.   She has been a member of the first established DBT consultation team in Austin, DBT Associates of Austin, since 2007.
