Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
This is a researched-based combination of cognitive and behavioral therapies. Its main goals are to teach people how to live in the moment, develop healthy ways to cope with stress, regulate their emotions, and improve their relationships with others.
DBT is a relatively brief (typically 20-24 therapy sessions) model specifically focusing on four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Additionally, our program offers in-home psycho-education skills sessions for youth and families to teach and reinforce new behavioral skills and strengthen their ability to use those skills in their everyday lives.
