Dialectical behavior therapy ( DBT) is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy where we teach people how to live in the moment, how to cope with stress and regulate emotions, and how to improve communication and relationships with others. Our small groups will meet weekly, and clients will ideally attend individual therapy sessions where the therapist and client will work together to resolve the seeming contradiction between self-acceptance and change in order to bring about positive changes in the client.

Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT) skills classes help people who are overly controlled—rigid, perfectionistic, or emotionally restrained. If you struggle with being too self-controlled or feel isolated, these classes may help. Effective for treatment-resistant depression, anorexia, and chronic anxiety, you'll learn three core skills: openness to feedback, flexibility over rigidity, and social connection through vulnerability. The group format provides safe practice for new behaviors like playfulness and emotional expression. You'll learn that being "too controlled" creates problems and that meaningful relationships require risk-taking. Skills classes help you develop greater openness and connection.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Support Groups
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
