If you're seeking an approach that combines acceptance and change strategies to address emotional struggles, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is the transformative solution you've been searching for.
Overview of Mental Health Conditions Treated with Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy (DBT):
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a proven and evidence-based therapeutic approach that effectively treats various mental health conditions. It has shown remarkable results in addressing borderline personality disorder, self-harm behaviors, chronic suicidal thoughts, and emotional dysregulation. Additionally, DBT has demonstrated promise in helping individuals struggling with substance use disorders, eating disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The evidence-based nature of DBT provides hope and assurance to individuals and mental health professionals seeking support in managing these complex conditions.
Core Principles:
At the heart of Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is the belief that every individual has the capacity for positive change and deserves compassion and understanding. Our approach focuses on fostering growth and recognizing inherent strengths within each person. We create a compassionate and validating therapeutic environment to facilitate healing and overcome challenges.
​DBT emphasizes the interconnectedness of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, helping individuals gain awareness of their internal processes through mindfulness practice. This newfound awareness empowers them to challenge negative thoughts, regulate emotions, and engage in more adaptive behaviors.
Targets for a Better Quality of Life:
Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy (DBT) targets maladaptive behaviors and disorders that hinder an individual's quality of life. We employ a comprehensive treatment approach to enhance motivation and skills for adaptive behaviors, manage distressing emotions, improve communication, and address behaviors that may pose risks to well-being. Our aim is to reduce self-destructive behaviors, enhance emotional regulation, improve interpersonal relationships, and ultimately promote a better quality of life for our clients.
Structured and Goal-Oriented Therapy
In CBT, therapy sessions are structured and goal-oriented. The therapist and the individual collaboratively identify specific therapy goals, such as reducing anxiety, managing depressive symptoms, or addressing specific fears. The therapist helps the individual identify negative thoughts or beliefs and encourages them to examine the evidence for and against these thoughts. Through this process, individuals gain a better understanding of the accuracy and helpfulness of their thoughts, and they learn to challenge and replace negative thoughts with more balanced and realistic ones.
​CBT incorporates various therapeutic techniques to achieve the identified goals. These may include thought challenging, behavioral experiments, exposure therapy, relaxation techniques, and problem-solving skills. The client's active participation is vital, as they openly share their thoughts and experiences, engage in self-reflection, and take responsibility for implementing the strategies and techniques learned in therapy.
