Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Find Balance, Regulate Emotions, and Build a Life You Love

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach designed to help individuals manage overwhelming emotions, improve relationships, and develop healthier coping strategies. Originally developed for borderline personality disorder, DBT has proven effective for a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use.

At Deluxe Treatment Center, DBT is a core component of our holistic and personalized treatment programs. Our skilled therapists guide clients through a structured emotional healing process, teaching practical skills that empower individuals to find balance, build meaningful connections, and develop resilience in the face of life’s challenges.

What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that focuses on finding balance between accepting your current reality and learning strategies to make positive changes. It is particularly effective for individuals struggling with emotional dysregulation and offers structured tools to help manage emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

DBT focuses on building skills in four key areas:

  1. Emotion Regulation: Learning to manage intense emotions and prevent them from becoming overwhelming.
  2. Distress Tolerance: Developing healthy ways to cope with stress and crises without resorting to harmful behaviors.
  3. Interpersonal Effectiveness: Improving communication skills and building stronger, healthier relationships.
  4. Mindfulness: Cultivating awareness of the present moment to reduce emotional reactivity and increase focus.
Who Can Benefit from DBT?

DBT is highly effective for individuals facing emotional and behavioral challenges, particularly those who feel stuck in patterns of self-destructive behaviors, intense emotional pain, or chaotic relationships. It is commonly used to treat:

  • Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Eating disorders such as bulimia or binge eating
  • Addiction and substance use disorders
  • Self-harm or suicidal thoughts

If you often feel overwhelmed by your emotions or struggle to maintain stability in your life, DBT can provide the tools and insights to create meaningful and lasting change.

How DBT is Used in Treatment

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps individuals regulate emotions, manage distress, and improve relationships. Through individual therapy, skills training, and holistic integration, DBT supports lasting emotional stability and behavioral change. Our therapists create personalized DBT plans that empower clients to develop resilience, handle life’s challenges, and build a healthier future.

Dual Diagnosis & Emotional Regulation

DBT is highly effective for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, making it a core part of dual diagnosis treatment. By addressing both addiction and emotional dysregulation, DBT helps individuals develop coping mechanisms that reduce impulsive behaviors and support long-term recovery.

Skills-Based Emotional Mastery

DBT teaches four key life skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These techniques help clients navigate difficult emotions, strengthen communication, and build self-awareness, ensuring they can apply DBT strategies in everyday situations.

Real-World Application & Lasting Change

Rather than focusing solely on talk therapy, DBT is action-driven, encouraging clients to practice coping strategies outside of sessions. By actively applying DBT techniques, clients gain the confidence to face challenges, manage triggers, and maintain emotional stability in real life.

Mindfulness & Holistic Healing

DBT incorporates mindfulness techniques to enhance emotional balance and self-reflection. We integrate meditation, yoga, and breathwork exercises into therapy sessions, helping clients reduce stress, increase awareness, and maintain focus on the present moment as they work toward lasting recovery.
