Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Treating with Dialectical Behavior Therapy at Clearview Outpatient
Our multidisciplinary approach — built around our proprietary Social Integration Model™ — involves creating personalized plans for each client to address all aspects of their disorder. Combining clinical methods like dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with medication, practical tools, and holistic options, we empower lasting, healthy change.
About DBT
A skills-based therapy that combines cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and practical application methods, DBT helps people regulate their emotions, foster successful interpersonal relationships, increase distress tolerance, and be more mindful of their thoughts, feelings, and environment.
What is DBT?
Though originally designed to treat borderline personality disorder, DBT has also been proven effective in treating a variety of mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and more. This evidence-based treatment combines elements of cognitive behavioral therapy with meditation and self-awareness.
How does DBT work?
At Clearview Outpatient, clients learn how to incorporate DBT skills into their everyday lives in four stages:
Stage 1 – Lays the foundation for recovery by helping clients gain control over life-threatening behaviors that interfere with treatment and daily life.
Stage 2 – Focuses on helping clients express their feelings in a healthy way by teaching them to identify, experience, and better express their emotions.
Stage 3 – Utilizes problem-solving to help clients tackle everyday issues and challenges in a more positive way.
Stage 4 – Brings the lessons and skills of the preceding stages together to help clients better connect with others.
