Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a comprehensive cognitive-behavioral treatment that emphasizes the psychosocial aspects of therapy. At the Bay Area CBT Center we offer an integrative approach to DBT, combining both acceptance and change strategies. You’ll learn practical skills to manage intense emotions, navigate challenging situations, and improve your relationships.
Our DBT therapists work collaboratively with you to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your emotions, empowering you to create positive change in your life. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, or other mental health challenges, DBT offers you a path to healing and growth.
In DBT therapy, we embrace the dialectic—a fundamental concept that acknowledges the interplay between seemingly contradictory elements. Incorporating dialectics in DBT, helps you move away from ‘all-or-nothing’ thinking by acknowledging that different, aspects of yourself and the world can coexist.
This approach encourages you to integrate these parts, leading to a more nuanced understanding of yourself and your interactions with others. By recognizing and reconciling these diverse elements, you learn to view situations and your emotions in a more balanced, less extreme manner, which promotes greater psychological flexibility and healthier coping strategies.
DBT teaches you to navigate the tension between striving for change and accepting yourself as you are.
DBT teaches you to embrace vulnerability as a source of strength, not weakness.
DBT helps you find the balance between independence and dependence, fostering healthy interdependence.
In DBT, we provide validation for your experiences while also challenging unhelpful beliefs and behaviors.
In Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), we use empathic confrontation as a powerful tool to support your growth and transformation. We understand that change can be challenging, which is why we approach it with compassion and understanding.
When we gently confront certain thoughts, beliefs, or behaviors, it’s not to criticize or judge you, but rather to help you explore new perspectives and ultimately, make positive changes in your life. Through this collaborative process, we create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel empowered to navigate your therapeutic journey and practice new skills..
Our DBT program offers a holistic approach by combining group therapy and individual sessions, which together provide robust support for you. In the group therapy setting, you not only learn DBT skills but also actively practice these techniques in a supportive group environment. We are currently forming new DBT groups and have a waitlist available. Click below to reserve your spot.
The skills taught in our DBT sessions encompass a range of coping mechanisms and tools designed to help you manage stress, regulate emotions, improve relationships, and enhance mindfulness. These collective experiences are supplemented by individual therapy, which allows you to delve deeper into personal challenges and apply DBT skills to situations in your life. This approach ensures that you receive well-rounded support in integrating DBT skills effectively.
