What is DBT?

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a treatment approach developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan that focuses on teaching individuals skills to lead a more meaningful life.  DBT was the first effective treatment for adults with significant difficulty regulating their emotions, and recent research has shown that it helps adolescents struggling with depression, suicidal behavior, and personality disorder features.  It also has proven to help adolescents who were formerly resistant to treatment.  DBT Skills taught in our program include helping adolescents:
  • Regulate emotions and behaviors
  • Reduce problem behaviors and increase skillful behaviors
  • Experience a range of emotions without necessarily acting on them all
  • Improve relationships with family, school, and peers
Our program is recommended for youth who have struggled with significant school refusal, anxiety, depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and emotional dysregulation.
