Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) uses cognitive and behavioral approaches to interrupt disruptive behaviors and transform them into more effective coping mechanisms. 

The research-based coping mechanisms involved in DBT are especially useful for adolescents experiencing serious problems, including: 

  • Chronic thoughts of suicide
  • Eating disorders
  • Self-harming behaviors 
  • Substance abuse
  • Violence

Because DBT is so effective, we offer a group training class where your adolescent  and your parents  can learn DBT skills. Together, you can then support each other while implementing those skills into your lives. 

If a group setting is not for you, we have several DBT-trained therapists available for private sessions.
