4 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a DBT Therapist
Briefly

Finding a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) therapist can be life-changing. Comprehensive research shows that DBT can be transformative for those struggling with intense emotions, suicidal thoughts, and other crises.
DBT incorporates three core elements: Individual Therapy, Skills Training Groups for practicing DBT skills in a supportive environment, and Phone Coaching for real-time application of skills during crises.
Many therapists offer 'DBT light,' which may incorporate some DBT concepts but is often insufficient for clients in severe distress. Fully adherent DBT is essential for effective treatment.
Skills training alone may assist with depression, however, it does not adequately address the needs of suicidal individuals, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive DBT approach.
