Dialectical Behavior Therapy
About Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a highly effective therapeutic approach, particularly for individuals struggling with emotional regulation or exhibiting self-destructive behaviors. At Bright Path Program, we specialize in DBT to help clients learn to manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and lead a more balanced life.
Our Approach to DBT
DBT at Bright Path Program combines standard cognitive-behavioral techniques for emotion regulation and reality-testing with concepts of distress tolerance, acceptance, and mindful awareness largely derived from Buddhist meditative practice. Our comprehensive DBT program is tailored to meet the unique needs of each client, offering both individual therapy and group skills training sessions.
Program Features

One-on-one sessions with a DBT-trained therapist help clients address their personal challenges and work towards achieving their therapy goals.
Group Skills Training
Clients participate in group sessions that focus on enhancing their capabilities by teaching behavioral skills in four key areas: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance.
Phone Coaching
For real-time support between therapy sessions, clients can access phone coaching to help manage difficult situations that arise in everyday life.
Integrative Treatment Approach
DBT is integrated with other therapeutic modalities within our program to provide a holistic treatment experience.
