What is DBT?
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) was initially developed by Marsha Linehan in the early 1990’s to help clients that were suicidal or intentionally self-injuring. However, it has been shown to be effective with other impulse control disorders including substance abuse. This is a strength based, skills building program. We teach 4 sets of skills in a 25 week model, Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance. We have a program for teens and adults in three locations, Auburn, Davis and Folsom. 
Who can benefit?
Who can benefit from DBT? DBT has gained popularity in treating client’s who have challenges with: a tendency towards impulsivity and self-destructive behaviors, an unstable sense of self, including chronic feelings of emptiness high emotional reactivity requiring a long time to calm down a tendency to see others and the world in black and white terms, extremely sensitive and lashing out in anger over the slightest miscue, unstable relationships, especially those involving intimacy, a pronounced fear of being abandoned, and rapid mood changes with mixed anxiety and depression How does it work?
DBT separates skills training from individual DBT therapy, requiring participants to attend weekly skills training groups in addition to being in ongoing and weekly DBT therapy. The purpose of the group is to learn the skills. The purpose of the individual is to generalize the skills into everyday life. As a unique and powerful way to further reinforce the skills taught in the skills groups, telephone coaching with your DBT therapist is available between sessions. One of the key assumptions of DBT is that while we may not have caused all of our problems, we are the only ones capable and responsible for fixing them. This requires a continual willingness on the part of DBT participants to put in the hard work necessary for making the changes they want in order to create lives worth living. Because of the personal dedication, sacrifice, and effort required to successfully complete our DBT program, applicants are required to complete a DBT Intake before being eligible for admission into the DBT program.
