Psychiatric Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) at Diligence Care Plus

At Diligence Care Plus, we provide Psychiatric Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as part of our comprehensive approach to treating complex mental health disorders that require immediate medical intervention. Our team of compassionate, board-certified psychiatric providers and therapists work together to provide personalized DBT care tailored to your unique needs. DBT represents a cornerstone of our evidence-based treatment protocols, specifically designed for individuals struggling with intense emotions, interpersonal difficulties, and behavioral challenges that significantly impact daily functioning.

What is Psychiatric Dialectical Behavioral Therapy?

Psychiatric Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is an intensive, skills-based psychotherapy originally developed for individuals with borderline personality disorder and has since proven effective for various complex mental health conditions. DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices and distress tolerance skills, focusing on helping patients develop emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and mindfulness capabilities.

Our integrated psychiatric approach combines evidence-based medication optimization, targeted therapeutic interventions, and specialized diagnostic evaluations to restore your mental stability, cognitive function, and long-term psychiatric wellness. DBT serves as one of these targeted therapeutic interventions, working alongside medication management when appropriate to address the most challenging psychiatric symptoms.

Psychiatric DBT at Diligence Care Plus is seamlessly integrated with our medication management services, creating a holistic treatment approach that addresses both the biological and psychological aspects of severe mental health conditions.

• Treatment goals are aligned across all psychiatric interventions
• DBT skills training supports medication compliance
