What is DBT?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy developed to help individuals cope with intense emotions and build meaningful life skills. DBT combines mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to create a structured, skills-based approach to mental health.
Unlike traditional therapy, DBT emphasizes:

  • Validation of emotions
  • Balancing acceptance and change
  • Structured skills training in groups or individual sessions

DBT can be used alongside Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) or REBT programs to address complex behavioral challenges.

Key DBT Skills Taught at Meadow Minds Therapy

Distress Tolerance

Practical strategies for managing crisis situations and overwhelming emotions without making impulsive decisions.

Emotion Regulation
