- 60 minute weekly DBT individual session with your primary therapist.

Problems & Concerns DBT can usually help with:
- Self-Harm, Suicidal Thoughts, Emotion Regulation Issues, Chronic Impulsivity, Eating Disorders, Addiction or Alcohol Abuse with a co-occurring mood disorder.
- This group is generally targeted for ages 14-19.
How DBT helps:
- Provides comprehensive skills training in the areas of mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and the middle path.
- Utilizing chain analysis in weekly individual sessions, uncover ineffective patterns and where alternative actions can be implemented.
- Utilizes as needed coaching calls to shape real world learning and build effective skill usage.
- Imparts a deep understanding related to finding a healthy balance in life between acceptance and needed changes.
- Help parents find a balance between too loose versus too strict, along with identifying typical adolescent behavior versus non-typical and cause for concern behavior.
- Therapists practice the same DBT skills taught in group. We believe this is important due to the phenomena of unconscious learning and teaching, as it's equally important to pass on information related to what we do versus only teaching what we know.
