Skills for emotion regulation and behavior change

Skills Coaching Workshops:

What is skills coaching?

Skills coaching offers immediate and sustained relief from difficult emotions, problem behaviors and sticky interpersonal problems. The skills come from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and resilience research. Instead of digging into the depths, we focus on helping you establish the sustainable, forward-thinking tools you need IMMEDIATELY, so you can feel better and more competent and get on with your awesome life.

Meet your coach,

Kate Ireland, PhD

Hi, I’m Kate!

I’ve been a psychotherapist in high schools, colleges, treatment centers, and private practice for 15 years. My coaching workshops draw on skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and resilience research.

I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and a Ph.D. in East West Psychology.

I love skills coaching because clients walk away with concrete tools that actually works. These are skills you can draw on for the rest of your life in times of stress or overwhelm!

“From the beginning to the end of the workshop the journey was one of discovery, realization and yes relief that there are paths to healing the mind. We all deal with anxiety in some way but Kate’s knowledge and understanding of what it takes to manage it and the way she delivers that information is outstanding.”

- D.P.

“I loved this workshop. Kate is an incredibly effective facilitator. She is disarming, funny, vulnerable and knowledgeable. Her candor and her demeanor made me feel validated and understood from the get go. Feeling that comfortable made me open to learning more skills and getting them to “stick” quickly. I can’t wait for the next session.”

What it’s like to be in a workshop at The Net:

Workshops and group programs at The Net are a mix of virtual skills coaching and 1:1 support on Voxer. The skills come from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and resilience research.

The calls are always recorded if you cannot attend live, and there’s a form for you to message me questions that I will answer on the live session.

You can attend camera on or camera off. You will never be called on or asked to share unless you volunteer. This is your time and space to get what you need.

This is not psychotherapy and is not appropriate for individuals in crisis.

Join us and learn how to reduce anxiety, increase confidence and self-esteem, have difficult conversations, stop doing that thing you can’t stop doing, and more!
