Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Real Skills for Lasting Change
When emotions feel overwhelming, relationships feel unstable, and coping seems impossible, life can feel out of control. If you or your loved one struggles with intense emotions, impulsivity, self-harm, or suicidal thoughts, you’re not alone—and more importantly, help is available.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is the gold-standard treatment for individuals who feel stuck in patterns of emotional distress, offering the skills needed to regulate emotions, build healthier relationships, and create a life worth living.
What Is DBT?
DBT is a specialized, evidence-based form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) designed for individuals who experience intense emotional ups and downs. It teaches practical, real-world skills to help manage distress, navigate relationships, and improve overall well-being.
DBT focuses on four key skill areas:
✔ Emotion Regulation – Learn how to manage overwhelming emotions without becoming reactive or numb
✔ Distress Tolerance – Cope with crisis situations in healthy, effective ways
✔ Interpersonal Effectiveness – Build and maintain strong, healthy relationships
✔ Mindfulness – Stay present in the moment instead of getting caught in negative thought spirals
DBT Is Most Effective in a Comprehensive, Linehan-Certified Program
Not all DBT programs are the same. True DBT requires a comprehensive, evidence-based approach developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, the creator of DBT. A fully adherent, Linehan-certified DBT program includes:
✔ Individual DBT therapy to address personal challenges
✔ DBT skills training groups to practice new coping strategies
✔ Between-session coaching to help apply skills in real life
✔ A DBT consultation team to ensure therapists provide the highest quality care
