Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT teaches four skill sets: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. At Hollick Institute, it's a core part of your treatment plan, giving you concrete tools to manage intense emotions and respond to hard moments without falling back on old patterns.
How Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Works in Treatment
DBT teaches you four concrete skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. In a session you learn a specific tool, practice it, and then use it between appointments. It helps if intense emotions push you toward drinking, using, self-harm, or fights with the people close to you. You keep what works and drop what doesn't. Licensed clinicians build DBT into your full treatment plan alongside other therapies, then adjust the focus as you get steadier and your needs shift. The goal is practical: fewer crises, better choices under pressure.
