Dialectical Behavior Therapy
The Counseling Center is pleased to offer dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) . This therapy is one example of the evidence-based treatments we utilize as part of our personalized care. If our staff deems you a suitable candidate for DBT, we’ll add it to your care program and schedule sessions with one of our experienced counselors. Using DBT, you’ll explore how to navigate negative emotions, behaviors, and thoughts to live a more rewarding life. Reach out to us at 866-850-5001 today to get more information about DBT and our mental health services.
What Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?
Similar to cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy is a kind of talk therapy. It’s specifically effective for people who experience emotions more deeply than others. If you’re fighting to manage powerful emotions, you have a right to seek help to keep those feelings from harmfully impacting your life.
The term “dialectical” can mean evaluating two opposite ideas. In DBT, you are guided to think about both the difficult aspects of your life and actions alongside helpful changes you can incorporate to elevate your emotional well-being. You’ll learn to examine different views of a situation and steer clear of “black-and-white” thinking. At The Counseling Center, we seek to help our DBT patients get past counterproductive behaviors and thought processes and move toward improved mental health.
Patients We Recommend For DBT
We only propose DBT for those whom we believe will benefit from it. Prior to starting any treatment at The Counseling Center, you’ll undergo a comprehensive examination. A group of skilled therapists will consider your medical and treatment history and collaborate with you to design a care plan that fits your circumstances and mental wellness goals.
For many of our patients, DBT counseling has outstanding outcomes. We use it to manage:
- PTSD
- Depression and mood disorders
- Anxiety disorders
