How It Works
DBT skills are organized into four modules: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotional Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. In individual therapy, we apply these skills to your specific challenges and work through the patterns that keep you stuck. We offer DBT-informed individual therapy; full DBT programs with skills groups are also available by referral.
Who This Is For
DBT is most commonly used with adolescents and adults who struggle with intense emotions, impulsive behavior, or self-destructive patterns. It’s particularly well-suited for people who have found other therapies insufficient.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a BPD diagnosis to benefit from DBT?
No. DBT skills are valuable for anyone who struggles with emotional intensity, impulse control, or relationships—regardless of diagnosis.
Is DBT different from CBT?
DBT grew out of CBT but adds a dialectical philosophy, mindfulness practice, and an explicit focus on acceptance alongside change.
Does DBT require a skills group?
Full DBT includes both individual therapy and a skills group. We offer DBT-informed individual therapy, which incorporates skills training within sessions.
Is DBT covered by insurance?
Yes. DBT is an evidence-based treatment covered by most behavioral health insurance plans.
