DIALECTICAL BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (DBT)
Emotional Regulation & Recovery for Mental Health & Addiction
How does Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) work?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a powerful, evidence-based treatment that helps individuals navigate intense emotions, build healthier relationships, and develop effective coping strategies. At Healing Rock Recovery, DBT is a core element of our mental health and substance use treatment programs, offering clients a path toward emotional balance and long-term recovery.
Originally developed to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD), DBT is now widely used to support individuals struggling with substance use, trauma, depression, anxiety, and self-harming behaviors. Its structured, skills-based approach teaches clients how to:
Regulate overwhelming emotions
Cope with distress in healthy ways
Improve communication and relationship skills
Practice mindfulness and self-awareness
These skills form a strong foundation for personal growth, relapse prevention, and emotional stability.
At Healing Rock Recovery, DBT is seamlessly integrated into our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and Virtual Treatment options. Each client receives personalized, trauma-informed care from experienced clinicians who are trained to help you build the tools you need to thrive—both during treatment and beyond.
What to expect in a DBT program?
At Healing Rock Recovery, our Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) sessions are designed to strengthen emotional resilience and improve real-world problem-solving through four essential skill areas:
- Mindfulness practice: Learn to stay grounded in the present moment, reduce impulsivity, and make more intentional, balanced decisions.
- Distress tolerance: Build the ability to navigate emotional pain and high-stress situations without turning to self-destructive behaviors.
- Emotional regulation: Understand your emotional triggers, gain control over intense feelings, and respond to challenges with greater stability.
- Interpersonal effectiveness: Enhance your communication skills, set healthy boundaries, and form more supportive and meaningful relationships.
Through a combination of individual therapy, group sessions, and practical skill-building, DBT at Healing Rock offers clients structured, compassionate support that fosters long-term recovery and emotional well-being.
