Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

At our facility in Utah County, we specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), a holistic treatment approach that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness strategies. Our expert therapists aim to create a welcoming and supportive environment to help our clients navigate emotional and psychological challenges. DBT is more than just a therapy trend; it's a lifeline for those grappling with emotional turmoil, relationship difficulties, and other psychological issues.

Developed by psychologist Marsha Linehan, DBT is an offshoot of traditional cognitive behavioral therapy. The treatment focuses on building skills in four primary areas: emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skill sets equip individuals with the tools they need to cope with life's challenges in a balanced and constructive way. Our therapists are trained to implement these strategies effectively, guiding clients through a series of evidence-based modules that align with their specific needs.

DBT is a versatile treatment method, effective for a variety of conditions including Borderline Personality Disorder, depression, and anxiety disorders. By helping individuals gain control over their emotional responses, DBT can lead to improvements in various aspects of life—from professional relationships to personal well-being. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach; our skilled therapists customize treatment plans to cater to the unique conditions and challenges faced by each client.

Beyond the therapy room, the benefits of DBT are both extensive and transformative. Many clients report experiencing fewer symptoms of their underlying condition, improved emotional stability, and a better quality of life overall. This is backed by a wealth of scientific studies attesting to the efficacy of DBT, making it a widely recognized and respected form of treatment in the mental health community.

Consistent positive feedback from our clients is a testament to the effectiveness of DBT and our team's commitment to providing personalized care. As many individuals have discovered, our DBT program can offer a path to improved emotional health and overall well-being.

If you're looking for a scientifically-backed, individualized approach to mental health care, DBT could be the right choice for you.
