Dialectical Behavior Therapy Programs
There are many DBT-informed programs and therapists, where pieces of DBT are inserted into other modalities with the intention to increase skill use. However, this method can be frustrating and confusing for clients and clinicians. The following programs maintain the structural integrity, as proven by research, to be the most effective.
Comprehensive Full Program
DBT programs with this structure are shown to be the gold standard for reducing chronic self-harm, suicidal behaviors, and psychiatric hospitalizations. This program will target all ineffective behaviors, also including disordered eating, substance use, interpersonal conflict, shutting down/dissociating, executive dysfunction, and more.
Skills Class
2 hours of skills class weekly. The modules are:
- Mindfulness
- Distress Tolerance
- Emotion Regulation
- Interpersonal Effectiveness
Individual Therapy
Highly structured weekly individual therapy, including a review of a daily diary card, practicing skills in session, and collaborating on skills to practice in between session.
24/7 Phone Coaching
This feature is unique to DBT and is used to help quickly generalize skills in real-life situations and stop ineffective or life-threatening behaviors from continuing.
Enhanced Skills Training (EST) Program
This program is for those on the waiting list for the Comprehensive Full Program, for those that already have an individual therapist they love and just need some extra skills, or for those who want less of a time or financial commitment.
Skills Class
2 hours of skills class weekly. The modules are:
- Mindfulness
- Distress Tolerance
- Emotion Regulation
- Interpersonal Effectiveness
Check-in
A 30 minute check-in with a therapist to help generalize and adapt skills to real life situations, ask any questions, or review your progress.
