Evidence-Based Therapeutic Modality

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive behavioral intervention designed to treat individuals who struggle with difficulty regulating emotions and problematic cognitive and behavioral patterns. In Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, “dialectical” means the integration of opposites (aka- finding the balance between opposites). In DBT, the main “dialectical” tension, or balance, is between the opposite ideas of ACCEPTANCE and CHANGE. In this framework, DBT therapists balance treatment strategies of validation and problem solving. Skills taught in DBT treatment include mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.Each group is a 8 week group with the first two weeks focused on learning and incorporating mindfulness into your DBT practice.
