Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based model which helps teens learn new skills and strategies for handling difficult emotions and situations, both within the family and with peers. DBT sessions can help your teen in four specific areas: Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Distress Tolerance, and Mindfulness. Additionally, adolescent DBT includes a module called “Walking the Middle Path” which is particularly helpful for both parents and teens during this complex stage of development. Whenever possible, a treatment plan is developed with teens and parents together so that parents can be involved in the therapy process at various stages. If you are interested in DBT for your teen, you can book this as an Individual Adolescent Therapy appointment in the online booking system.
