DBT for Adults

Understanding the DBT Model
DBT for Adults at The Wise Center is a comprehensive treatment that integrates several core components:

• Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions where clients explore personal challenges, identify problematic patterns, and set meaningful goals.
• Group Skills Training: Interactive sessions that focus on mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These groups provide a supportive community environment where clients can practice new skills in real time.
• Telephone Coaching: Personalized support between sessions helps clients apply their skills during moments of crisis.
• Consultation Teams: Our therapists regularly collaborate to ensure the highest quality of care and to maintain therapeutic effectiveness.

Core Elements of DBT for Adults
The DBT approach is built on the principle of dialectics—finding balance in opposing forces. This means acknowledging and accepting the present moment while also striving for positive change. Clients learn to:

• Increase Awareness: Mindfulness techniques foster a greater awareness of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, allowing for more deliberate choices.
• Regulate Emotions: Through targeted skills training, clients learn to modulate intense feelings, reducing the risk of impulsive behaviors.
• Enhance Relationships: Interpersonal effectiveness training helps clients navigate conflicts, set healthy boundaries, and communicate needs effectively.
• Build Resilience: Distress tolerance skills equip individuals to cope with crises and setbacks in healthier ways.

Personalized, Compassionate Care
We tailor our DBT programs to meet individual needs, ensuring that treatment plans are as effective as they are compassionate. Be it chronic stress, managing mental health symptoms, or seeking personal growth, our team is committed to guiding you on a path toward emotional stability and self-empowerment.

Achieving Lasting Change
DBT for Adults is not a quick fix—it’s a journey toward lasting change. Clients leave the program equipped with a toolkit of skills that can be applied long after therapy ends. The benefits of improved emotional regulation, better relationships, and a clearer sense of self extend into every area of life, making DBT a powerful intervention.
