Adult DBT workshops focusing on
the core DBT skills for emotional regulation.

"Why is DBT so popular?"

Simple... it works and it works well.

Your doctor may have directed you to DBT because Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a cognitive-behavioral treatment that research has shown is effective in treating a wide range of disorders such as substance dependence, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and eating disorders. 

"What skills will I learn in DBT?"

DBT includes four sets of behavioral skills:

Mindfulness
the practice of being fully aware and present in this one moment

Distress Tolerance
how to tolerate pain in difficult situations, not change it

Interpersonal Effectiveness
how to ask for what you want and say no while maintaining self-respect and relationships with others

Emotion Regulation
how to change emotions that you want to change

There is increasing evidence that DBT skills training alone is a promising intervention for a wide variety of both clinical and nonclinical populations and across settings.

"How It Will Help Me?"

We will teach you concrete skills

and tools to manage difficult emotions arising from Depression, Anxiety, relationship conflicts, stress, and other life challenges. 

You will gain insight into how to set boundaries, take care of yourself and maintain hope even through difficult feelings and relationships.

"How is this faster than traditional DBT?"

King Health Associates provides the essential Skills Training component of DBT:

DBT skills training group

This component is focused on enhancing clients' capabilities by teaching them behavioral skills. The group is run like a class where the group leader teaches the skills and assigns homework for clients to practice using the skills in their everyday lives. Groups meet on a twice-weekly basis for approximately 1.5 hours and it takes 24 weeks to get through the full skills curriculum, which is often repeated to create a 1-year program. Briefer schedules that teach only a subset of the skills have also been developed for particular populations and settings.
This briefer model is the model that King Health follows.

Because of the powerful techniques you will be practicing and learning, you must agree to attend every class, and agree to pay the remaining fee for the group even if you stop coming.
