Dilectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dilectical Behavior Therapy (or DBT) utilizes cognitive therapy and behaviorist theory, but incorporates mindfulness as a key element. DBT is a psychosocial treatment modality that was formulated to help people with borderline personality disorders but works for many other diagnoses. Our core treatment modality expands upon Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills as developed by Marcia Linehan, Ph.D..
DBT is a well-researched approach found to be highly effective in treating disordered eating behaviors by teaching effective coping skills. The skills or modules of DBT are Core Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness.
