What is DBT?
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is an evidenced based behavioral treatment, which means there is research to prove its effectiveness; it combines elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Zen principles of mindfulness and compassion.
Our Specialized Services
DBT of South Jersey offers a comprehensive DBT program for Teens and Adults including individual therapy, skills training group, phone coaching and therapist consultation. In addition to DBT, our staff are trained in and utilize the special modalities listed below to help their clients heal and grow.
DBT-Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE) is a treatment option for those who have experienced trauma or traumatic invalidation, and are experiencing symptoms of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
EMDR is a therapeutic technique originally developed by Francine Sharpiro in order to help people find relief from the emotional distress they feel related to traumatic and/or upsetting life experiences.
EXRP is the treatment of choice for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Research has shown that part of how we feel emotionally is triggered by our facial expressions and body postures. Our bodies communicate how we are feeling to our brain, so by changing our body, we can influence our emotional state.
We would love to support you.
