Research-Based Treatment to Address Intense Emotions & Behaviors

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a specialized evidence-based treatment, that is effective at helping individuals reduce and cope with intense emotions, suicidal thoughts and actions, and life threatening behaviors, including cutting and burning. DBT can help with: regulating intense, painful emotions; controlling life-threatening and life-interfering behaviors; managing difficult interpersonal relationships, and fostering more life balance. The goal of DBT is to create a life worth living.

WJCS offers DBT comprehensive and DBT informed individual and family psychotherapy, and DBT skills training groups for adults, adolescents and families at each of our four Family Mental Health Clinics and at several of our satellite clinics.
