Monmouth County DBT

What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), created by psychologist Marsha M. Linehan, was initially intended to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD) and suicidal behaviors. This modality has since been adapted to address emotional regulation issues, including eating disorders, substance use disorders, and PTSD. DBT in its entirety blends together cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) methods with mindfulness practices to help manage intense emotional reactions, especially in relationships with partners, family, and friends.

Monmouth County DBT focuses on four key therapeutic skills:

  1. Mindfulness: Staying fully present and aware in the current moment.
  2. Distress Tolerance: Building resilience against negative emotions rather than avoiding them.
  3. Emotion Regulation: Recognizing, understanding, and adjusting emotions.
  4. Interpersonal Effectiveness: Managing conflicts and communicating assertively.

DBT balances acceptance and change through individual therapy sessions, group skills training, phone coaching, and therapist consultation teams, ensuring comprehensive support. Our Monmouth County DBT sessions help individuals manage stress, control emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and improve relationships.  By incorporating coping strategies from cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices, our team aim to help you lead a more manageable and fulfilling life.

The DBT Process

Monmouth County DBT offers a unique alternative to traditional talk therapy, with a structured and personalized program designed to meet your specific needs. Here’s what our DBT programs include:

Weekly Individual Therapy: Engage in one-on-one sessions with our specialized DBT therapists, focusing on personal challenges and utilizing core DBT techniques to enhance coping skills for everyday life.

DBT Skills Training Group: Join weekly group sessions in a supportive setting where you’ll develop and refine skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness alongside peers facing similar challenges.

Phone Coaching: Access immediate support from our DBT therapists between sessions, ensuring you have the tools needed to navigate difficult moments as they arise.

Therapist Peer Consultation: Our DBT therapists participate in regular peer consultation meetings, sharing insights and updating their methods with the latest effective DBT strategies to maintain the highest standards of care.

This comprehensive approach ensures that individuals seeking Monmouth County DBT receive holistic support, empowering them to achieve emotional balance and improved well-being.
