(Genna Weinberg, In-Person DBT IOP) “The IOP program was great at balancing skill development with group therapy. Everyone felt safe and heard within group. Genna is a great facilitator. She makes sure everyone has a voice and is heard. She adequately challenges out assumptions and helps us feel safe to share our stories in group."
(Genna Weinberg, In Person, DBT IOP) “I would love a typed-out version of every word that comes out of the instructor’s mouth explaining the skills. I know that can’t happen, but the instructor is truly amazing. The feel of safety and relaxation with all the people who come and go is amazing. Watching and listening to others and their issues is an amazing experience, and all the love and support from others is amazing. I will truly miss this when it’s time to leave.”

Genna specifically always made me feel comfortable and gave us options to share or not share. Genna, thank you so much for showing so much care for everyone in the group. I truly felt your empathy and really appreciate how you go above and beyond for everyone to feel comfortable. You always offer extra resources and personal suggestions. You are a gem, and BWG is lucky to have you.” “
"(Genna Weinberg, In Person, DBT IOP) “I feel that (Genna) really tried hard to get to know the people in the group and gave good suggestions on how to deal with situations. I thought the homework weekly was a good way to learn the skills and practice them in different situations. “
"(Genna Weinberg, In Person, DBT IOP) “I always felt heard while in group. No matter what faces, we all knew it was a safe space to be vulnerable even if we are all strangers. Everything is structured well and is easy to flip through and review. I enjoyed the homework, even on the hard days, and how easy putting the tools and skills into practice. I am very thankful for anyone and everyone who made this and programs like these possible. It is so well put together and has helped so many people.”
