Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Contact Us to start the DBT intake process involving pretreatment sessions to determine the best course of treatment for you.   

We have four Comprehensive DBT Programs: Adult, Adolescent, Child and The Skills System for All Learners.

​

Two DBT services are offered: 

​

• STANDARD/COMPREHENSIVE DBT is a cognitive-behavioral treatment that works.  ​Clinical research has shown the effectiveness of Comprehensive or Standard DBT for a wide range of problems including impulsive & harmful behaviors, suicidality, depression, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, addictions, ADHD, traumatic stress, and interpersonal difficulties. 

  • Learn more about the DBT philosophy. 

  • Standard DBT involves four modes:  Individual Psychotherapy, Group Skills Training, Telephone Coaching, and Therapist Consultation Team

​

• SKILLS TRAINING GROUP ONLY  Recent research has shown benefit of skills training only.  For clients who want to continue with an outside individual therapist, coming to us for Skills Training alone is an option.  This option requires coordination with the outside individual therapist.  This is not Comprehensive DBT, because these clients are getting only one of the four modes.  For people with more significant symptoms, Comprehensive DBT is recommended.  ​
