What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), created by psychologist Marsha M. Linehan, was initially developed to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD) and suicidal behaviors. Over time, it has been adapted to address a variety of emotional dysregulation issues, including eating disorders, substance use disorders, and PTSD. DBT combines cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques with Eastern mindfulness practices to help individuals manage intense emotional reactions, especially in relationships with partners, family, and friends.
 

At DBT Westchester County, we focus on four essential therapeutic skills:

  • Mindfulness
  • Distress Tolerance
  • Emotion Regulation
  • Interpersonal Effectiveness

Our DBT approach balances acceptance and change, incorporating individual therapy sessions, group skills training, phone coaching, and therapist consultation teams to provide comprehensive support. Our DBT sessions in Westchester County are designed to help individuals manage stress, control emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and enhance relationships. By integrating coping strategies from cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices, we aim to help you lead a more manageable and fulfilling life.
