There are many definitions for mindfulness, many ways of learning and understanding mindfulness and many methods to be mindful. In Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness skills are taught as a central component to skills training. They are the first skills taught and are repeated throughout all groups and skills training. The result was a synthesis of Western psychotherapies and Eastern spiritual practices including meditation and mindfulness. Dialectical Behavior Therapy at Mental Health Wellness NJ incorporates a climate of loving-kindness and acceptance to combat the very often profoundly invalidating environments that patients come from.

As an adjunctive supplement to therapy, I can provide Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills training. It is a type of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), which focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors, rather than deeply examining feelings. DBT aims to help people change their behaviors, regulate their moods, and tolerate uncomfortable feelings by teaching specific skills for coping with problems. It is a hands-on approach to therapy that will give you a sense of control by offering you practical tools for managing intense emotional pain. DBT can be used as part of a treatment plan for people struggling with behaviors that they can’t control such as drug and alcohol abuse, anger management, sexual addiction, and eating disorders. It can also be helpful for those who struggle with less “dangerous” but more insidious behaviors caused by depression and anxiety such as isolation, rumination, procrastination, and avoidance.

The areas of focus are:

Mindfulness - skills that help people learn to “just notice” thoughts and feelings rather than to react to them

Interpersonal effectiveness - skills that help people to effectively communicate wants, needs, and boundaries in relationships, while also maintaining calmness and concern for the other person

Emotion regulation - skills that aid in reducing vulnerability to overwhelming emotions and help in coping with intense emotions

Distress tolerance - skills that help people survive crisis situations and help people manage short and long term pain

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a research-based, cognitive-behavioral treatment originally developed by Marsha Linehan at the University of Washington, to help clients with the suicidal and self-harm behaviors often seen in Borderline Personality Disorder. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy As an adjunctive supplement to therapy, I can provide Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills training. It is a type of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), which focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors, rather than deeply examining feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an innovative treatment method developed specifically to treat challenging clients in a way that preserves the morale of the therapist and the client. Research findings suggest that DBT is successful in reducing acting-out behavior, self-injury, and inpatient treatment time.

*NOTE: If you are seeking a DBT individual therapist or a DBT coach, I unfortunately am not the right therapist for you. I offer adjunctive DBT skills training as part of the therapeutic process (when needed), but not as my primary method of working with clients. If you need a referral for a DBT therapist or group, please contact me and I can provide you with one.
