Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

At RM Counseling in Boca Raton, we specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), a powerful therapy designed to help individuals manage emotions, improve relationships, and lead more fulfilling lives.  

If you are looking for dialectical behavioral therapy near you, we are here to help you through your emotional and psychological growth.

What is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy? 

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a type of therapy that helps people with their mental health by focusing on how they live and interact with others. DBT teaches you to accept yourself as you are while also recognizing the need for change.  

It was first designed to treat borderline personality disorder but has also worked well for many other mental health issues, especially those related to managing emotions.

Core Benefits of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy 

  • Enhanced Emotional Regulation: DBT provides the tools to understand and control your emotions, reducing impulsiveness and helping you react more appropriately to situations. 
  • Improved Relationship Skills: Through interpersonal effectiveness modules, DBT teaches skills to communicate assertively, maintain self-respect, and strengthen relationships. 
  • Increased Stress Resilience: Develop strategies to tolerate and reduce vulnerability to stress, which will help you face life’s challenges with greater resilience. 
  • Mindfulness Practice: Central to DBT, mindfulness helps you live with greater awareness and presence, enhancing your engagement with life. 

 

Our Comprehensive Approach to DBT 

Our DBT program at RM Counseling integrates the following key elements tailored to address the unique challenges you may face: 

  1. Mindfulness: Mindfulness practices are the foundation of effective DBT treatment. They help you stay focused in the present, increase awareness, and decrease reactivity. 
  2. Distress Tolerance: We focus on enhancing your ability to tolerate pain in difficult situations—not to change it but to bear and transform it. 
  3. Emotion Regulation: You’ll learn strategies for managing and changing intense emotions that are causing problems in your life. 
  4. Interpersonal Effectiveness: Techniques that allow you to ask for what you need, say no, and manage conflict in relationships while maintaining self-respect and relationships with others. 

 

Tailored DBT Sessions 

We design each session to meet your specific needs. Our goal is to help you improve your emotional management and interaction with others. Our therapists will work with you to create strategies that you can easily use in your everyday life. 

 

Integrating DBT with Other Therapeutic Modalities 

DBT is effective for treating various issues. At RM Counseling, we often combine it with other methods to improve results.  

We may use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to solve problems in a structured way, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you connect with your personal values, or psychodynamic therapy to gain deeper insights into your emotions. 

 

Who Can Benefit from DBT? 

DBT is ideal for individuals who experience the following: 

  • Emotional instability or intense emotions 
  • Difficulty in relationships 
  • Behaviors like self-harm or thoughts of suicide 
  • Mood disorders, anxiety disorders, or eating disorders 
  • Chronic feelings of emptiness or dissatisfaction
