Evidence-Based
Proven and Effective Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy. This therapy helps people cope with stress and live in the moment. Also to control emotions, not to mention, improve relationships with those around them.
It was initially designed to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD), but it has since been adapted to treat various other mental health conditions, including depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
At A New Outlook Recovery Services, we listen to, accept, and validate our patients’ feelings. While also showing that some of their feelings and behaviors may be maladaptive. As a result, we can then offer better alternatives. Consequently, they walk away with new skills. New behavioral skills, with the ultimate goal of, and as a result achieving a “life worth living”.
Our goal in DBT is for our patients to view us as an ally. An ally rather than an adversary in their treatment.
Helping You Get Better
DBT aims to help individuals build a life worth living by improving their ability to regulate emotions, tolerate distress, communicate effectively, and engage in meaningful relationships. It emphasizes a dialectical approach, which means finding a balance between acceptance and change, validation and change-oriented strategies, and maintaining the dialectical tension between acceptance and change.
