I recently took this online DBT course by TheraHive and it's been a game-changer for me! I've been struggling with mental health, stress and relationship issues and the course has given me amazing set of valuable tools to improve the quality of my life and those around me. The platform and content is excellent. You can revisit any of the content anytime. There are live sessions and a community aspect with group sessions. Private sessions are available when needed. If you're looking for ways to improve your mental well-being, I highly recommend checking it out!

"The group learning aspect of TheraHive was surprisingly beneficial. It provided a supportive community that motivated me to stay on track and witness real progress."

"If you want something that’s practical, effective, professional, and won’t break the bank, this is a great option. It’s a kind of DBT-lite, which will give you a good introduction to the core DBT skills or act as a helpful refresher. The materials are easy to read, with engaging graphics, and the group format can be a lot of fun."

I've been taking an online DBT course. It's basically, so far, emotional management and social effectiveness skills. I definitely feel like it has filled in some gaps left behind by therapy that will help me move forward more effectively in the future. The group support is also great, and while I was concerned that the course might feel invalidating or increase the degree of my shame issues, it has done the opposite. I'd happily recommend it to everyone.

TheraHive is a great course that I would recommend to anyone! They are great coaches that help you even if you are having a hard time. I have learned so much more than I knew before and now I feel confident enough to use the skills I learned on my real life situations.

"TheraHive was a game-changer for me! It blends modern technology with proven mental health strategies that truly make a difference!"
Ray B.

Helped me gain a new perspective of how to engage with the world around me. I learned to be more present and aware of my thoughts and feelings in difficult situations. It helped me understand why I behave a certain way and introduced me to tools that allow be to engage more effectively with the world around me. I learned how to feel emotions and that it’s ok to have them and not necessarily to run or numb myself.

I took this mental health course that is like group therapy but even better. They give you tools to help improve your mental health while also meeting weekly to review.

TheraHive's DBT program was my anchor. I gained invaluable skills for navigating challenging situations and mastering emotional balance. Seriously, life has taken a positive turn. Grateful for TheraHive!

There’s a program on how to regulate your emotions and with learning how to say no to someone without ruining your relationships. I have taken it and it has helped me so much! I would highly recommend it. The course has helped me see things in new and different perspectives. It does cost some money, but it is honestly not that expensive, if you want to learn more and help with your coping strategies and learn how to be more present, this would be the course to take! The coaches and CEO is amazing people who are very supportive.
Jenna A.

I took this mental health course that helped me better regulate my emotions as well as become more mindful. I fully recommend this course if you want to see personal growth and better understand yourself.

I am currently in my second module at Therahive and I am loving it. The way they structure each lesson works very well for me. You have your own self paced reading to do (with LOTS of information! Videos, interactive things, etc.) and then you meet for an hour each week with your coach and discussion group. It’s a great time to talk about how you practiced your skills and to get feedback from your coach. I’ve already noticed an insane difference in how I approach situations, and am able to regulate my emotions much more easily. Your coach is also available via email and is very responsive. I’m going to be continuing with therahive for all four modules.

I've been taking an online DBT course that is teaching me the basic skills of emotional regulation, communication, distress tolerance and mindfulness, and it's made a big difference in my life. They're the basic skills we need to live life well, but that we aren't necessarily ever taught!

"I was skeptical at first, but the TheraHive DBT small group was a game-changer. It’s a safe, intimate space where everyone shares personal experiences, and it creates this wonderful, cohesive group growth. Hearing others’ perspectives not only helped me understand more but also deepened my own mental health journey."
Ray B.

"I've tried therapy before but never a group program. I wish I'd known about skill groups before. It's real-life skills, not just talk. Feeling way better emotionally. Big thumbs up!"
Annie Z.
Lincoln, CA
Before I started TheraHive, I can visually mentally emotionally physically see that I was not aware of my emotion mind and my rational reasonable mind my thought mind and I loved an analogy that Sarah used saying that I had a puppy mind where anytime emotion or thought in my being I would chase it like a stick like a puppy does I did not know that my emotion and my mind need to be integrated into a place called wise and I have learned for distress. I have become aware of my emotions and my thoughts and fully prepared to continue to handle life with these skills. DBT has changed my life.
Wendy S.
San Francisco, CA
TheraHive offers a framework in which to manage emotions and make wise decisions effectively. While the homework portion may have been more based on memorization ~ it helped to understand concepts and engrain them into the memory. I would have enjoyed more experiential learning but all in all, the commitment of showing up for class weekly even on the days I don't want to, show progress in my emotional states and responses.
Kerry S.

TheraHive has been an excellent program for me! The TheraHive team is so supportive from the minute you sign-up. The content is very easy to follow and the groups are a great reinforcement on content learned. I am excited to continue my DBT journey in the future with TheraHive in the advanced program! Loved Coach Meg the past few months!

You should give this one a go, I found it really useful. Short teachings followed by a weekly group session to discuss your experience. I found the format worked well and the course leader was great.

It's like a college course, or a professional development course. But for your mental health and well being. How many of us learned DBT skills as part of our upbringing? Not many. Take Therahive! It's the missing piece of your personal development.

If you're looking for real help, I'd look at TheraHive. The combination of both self learning and group discussions makes the program really special.

"Before I joined, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I felt like I was adulting pretty well, but I quickly realized that DBT offers something unique. It’s not just about managing crises; it’s about finding tools that make everyday stress more manageable too. I’m so glad I signed up—it’s been transformative for both tough moments and daily life."

I have done two courses with TheraHive and both time I have found them to be fantastic. The format is great: I enjoyed being part of a hive, and the learning was well-paced and rewarding. The coach was fantastic too. Recommended for anyone looking for a DBT course.
