OT Emotional Regulation Skill-Building

Service Description

Our Occupational Therapy emotional regulation sessions use an evidence-based biofeedback program developed by leading experts at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. This innovative approach helps clients understand and manage their emotional responses through real-time feedback, engaging activities, and supportive guidance. Each session combines this scientifically validated technology with DBT-informed therapeutic strategies, delivered by an OT who is certified in youth mental health and trained in DBT-focused approaches. Clients learn how to recognize emotional cues, practice grounding skills, build distress tolerance, and navigate big feelings with more confidence and control. It’s a practical, playful, and highly effective way to strengthen emotional self-awareness, reduce overwhelm, and build lifelong regulation skills. At Arise, we meet each client where they’re at and help them grow in ways that are empowering, compassionate, and sustainable.
