The Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Program at LMHC includes a skills group, designed to teach skills in the following four areas: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance. These are the coping skills most needed by people who struggle with symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder. Participants involved in this group are encouraged to practice new skills so that they may become more effective in managing their emotions, reducing self harm, and increasing interpersonal effectiveness. The group consists of weekly two-hour group sessions, with an estimated completion time of six to seven months. With the successful completion of the four skills modules, participants will decrease symptoms, utilize more effective behaviors, and improve the quality of their lives.
LMHC has experienced staff who have been intensely trained in providing DBT services. Services begin with an assessment for needs. Treatment planning isva collaborative process and progress is reviewed on a weekly basis.
Prior to treatment, payment or insurance will be authorized. LMHC is an approved provider for a variety of insurance plans.
