Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment that was initially developed to help individuals with severe emotion dysregulation who were engaging in problem behaviors (e.g., suicide attempts, self-harm). DBT is a skills-focused treatment; skills are taught to improve mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is also highly structured compared to many other treatments; it includes the use of a treatment hierarchy to decide what is prioritized in sessions, diary cards to track treatment goals and behaviors, behavior chains to assess factors that contribute to client behaviors, and between-session homework to support skills learning. While I am intensively trained in DBT, I offer DBT-informed treatment, rather than “full model” DBT at this practice. Full model DBT includes four treatment components that each occur weekly: individual therapy, group therapy, phone coaching, and a consultation team for the therapist. At this practice, I currently offer only the individual therapy component to clients who are appropriate for DBT-informed treatment, though sessions are conducted in the style described above. Please note, DBT-informed treatment is not appropriate for those who currently struggle with high-risk behaviors (e.g. suicide attempts, aggression, substance abuse, self-harm) and/or have intense emotion dysregulation; these individuals are more appropriate for a full-model DBT program.
