Services

Therapist will assess client's current level of functioning to determine appropriateness for DBT-Informed individual therapy and/or skills group. The session will provide detailed information about the roots of DBT (Biosocial Theory), the four skill modules and the key elements that make up both an individual and skills group session. By the end of the session, the therapist will make their professional treatment recommendation.

Focusing on helping clients to apply the DBT skills and principles to specific challenges and events in their lives; while increasing effective behaviors towards their life-worth-living goals. The therapist applies dialectical, validation, and problem-solving strategies, respectively, in order to teach the client to be his or her own advocate. This allows the therapist to consult with the client about what to do.

An ongoing group that meets weekly for 90 minutes and takes approximately 24 weeks to complete the four skills modules: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation and Interpersonal Effectiveness. The listed price is per group. The function of the DBT Skills is to help enhance a client’s capabilities. Focus is on problematic behaviors that might provide temporary relief and often are not effective in the long-term. Clients are asked to make a one-month financial commitment in order to join the group. An initial assessment is required.

The DBT Center of Long Beach offers a weekly 90-minute multifamily skills group for adolescents and their families, using the DBT Skills Manual for Adolescents. The multi-family group format is meant for adolescents who struggle to control their emotions and behaviors, accompanied by at least one guardian or caretaker. In this format, the caregiver learns the content side by side with their adolescent and the group provides a forum that can improve interactions and enhance closeness. It takes 24 weeks to complete one cycle through the five skill modules: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Walking the Middle Path, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness.
