What is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy?

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a research-backed psychotherapy highlighting psychosocial treatment elements. Initially crafted for borderline personality disorder, DBT has demonstrated effectiveness across various mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and substance abuse. This therapy centers on four main aspects: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness concepts, striving to balance acceptance and change in thought and behavior. This approach helps individuals understand and accept their challenging emotional patterns while working to change them.

The Benefits of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

DBT offers numerous benefits, profoundly impacting an individual’s journey toward mental health and well-being:

Enhanced Emotional Regulation

DBT provides tools to understand and manage intense emotions better, reducing impulsivity and mood swings.

Increased Resilience to Stress

Distress tolerance skills foster a greater ability to cope with stress and adversity without resorting to self-destructive behaviors.

Improved Relationships

Through interpersonal effectiveness skills, individuals learn how to navigate relationships more healthily and assertively.

Mindfulness and Self-Awareness

DBT encourages mindfulness practices, enhancing self-awareness and presence in the moment.

MHM, saved my life and that isn’t hyperbole. I came across them very dark time in my life. I searched and researched other places in the Bay Area including a spot I was referred to by my doctor but for one reason or another it either wasn’t a good fit or wasn’t going to work out. What sold me on MHM was the statement from the initial intake person (Kyle) on the phone that these people genuinely care and it’s true. Between his patience and his honest declaration, I decided to take the next step and t am so glad I did. The people at MHM have become like family but in a healthy non-toxic way. They show up for you and in encourage you even in times when you feel like you can’t do that for yourself. I feel very lucky to work directly with Veronica and Frank, who both go above and beyond. They are the captains of my personal team as it truly is team cheering you towards success. If you need extra help, please don’t hesitate to reach out. In an era where people are more desensitized and self absorbed, these are genuine people who truly care about your wellbeing. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

I'm so grateful for AFRS and Mental Health! I chose to come here for aftercare treatment after doing in treatment rehab. The team is all wonderful, from the therapists to case management. I am super grateful to Mariela and Veronica, my support team. They are so knowledgeable and have taught me so much, including great life coping skills to help keep me on track with my goals. I continue to grow and learn from them all. The whole team is truly supportive and really cares. Thank you all.
