Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT gives you concrete skills for the moments that feel unmanageable. We build it into your treatment plan at Lousage Institute to help you handle intense emotions, ride out crisis urges, and hold steadier relationships. You practice the skills with us, then use them in real life.
How Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Works in Treatment
Your first DBT session starts with a specific problem. Maybe it's a craving that hits every evening, or an argument that spirals fast. We work through what happened, what you felt, and what you can do differently next time. You learn concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and staying steady in relationships. DBT helps with substance use, self-harm, and mood swings that talk therapy alone often misses. Our licensed clinicians build these sessions into your larger treatment plan, and as you get stronger, we adjust the skills we focus on with you.
