The therapists at this facility focus on dialectical behavioral therapy to treat patients. It is an offshoot of cognitive behavioral therapy which teaches people to think differently in order to change their behaviors.
Dialectical behavioral therapy, or DBT, is specifically designed for people who have a hard time controlling their emotional reactions to stressful situations. People who experience emotions very strongly often have difficulty getting along in everyday situations. The goal is to get clients to accept their situation and change the way they react to it.
This kind of therapy teaches people that it is OK to have mixed feelings about life circumstances and offers coping strategies for those circumstances. It also teaches people to identify when their emotions are getting out of control.
