What is DBT?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a research-supported evidence-based treatment model that combines cognitive-behavioral theory and methods with principles of mindfulness and Eastern meditation practices. DBT addresses problems with regulating emotion, managing behavior, and challenging and changing certain thought patterns that can lead to emotional reactivity and interferes with relationships, and robs us of the life we want to lead.

DBT Classes

Our DBT skills training modules are 2 months long, focusing on one skill set per module: Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, Interpersonal Effectiveness and Core Mindfulness. Multi-family class includes a module on Walking the Middle Path. Mindfulness is taught the first two weeks of each module. The entire skills training program takes about 6 months to complete (5 months for multi-family class) and we ask for a one-module commitment at a time. Classes meet weekly for 90 minutes. Read more
