Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOR THERAPY (DBT), a specialized treatment modality offered at 4 mental health clinics. DBT, an evidence based treatment developed by Marsha Linehan, PhD, has been shown to be effective at helping individuals reduce and cope with intense emotions and difficult-to-manage behaviors. The goal of DBT is to create a life worth living. DBT can help with:
* Regulating intense, painful emotions
* Controlling life-threatening and life-interfering
      behaviors
