Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Training
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, abbreviated DBT, is an evidence-based treatment model proven to be effective in strengthening one's ability to manage distress without losing control or responding destructively. Developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan (1993), DBT helps you build valuable coping skills in four important areas: Distress Tolerance, Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. DBT is an effective treatment for a range of mental health issues including borderline personality disorder, substance abuse/addiction, eating disorders, depression and anxiety. Any individual looking to improve their coping mechanisms and/or reduce distress can greatly benefit from learning and practicing DBT skills.
