Frequently asked questions 

  • What is DBT?

    Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that helps individuals manage intense emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, improve relationships, and increase mindfulness and emotional regulation. DBT focuses on building four key skill sets: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

  • Who benefits from DBT?

    DBT is particularly effective for individuals who experience: - Intense emotional dysregulation - Self-harm or suicidal ideation - Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) - Anxiety or depression - Challenges with relationships or communication - Difficulty managing anger or impulsivity. We offer DBT skills training for adults, teens, and children, and tailor our approach to each individual's needs.

  • Does Edgecare360 offer DBT groups?

    Yes. Edgecare360 offers DBT Skills Groups for the following populations: - Adults: Mondays at 4:00 PM - Teens: Tuesdays at 5:30 PM - Children (Ages 5–8): Wednesdays at 3:30 PM

    Groups are structured in 6-week rotating cycles. Clients must complete an intake session before joining a group.

  • Can my therapist provide DBT in individual sessions?

    Yes. Our therapists are trained in DBT-informed care and can provide individual and family therapy sessions using DBT principles and strategies. While full DBT includes group work and coaching components, many clients benefit from individualized DBT-based interventions as part of their weekly therapy sessions.

  • Is DBT the right fit if I don’t have BPD?

    Absolutely. While DBT was originally developed to support individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder, it has since been proven helpful for a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, and impulsivity. Many of our clients who do not meet criteria for BPD find DBT life-changing.

  • What happens in a DBT group?

    DBT groups are not process groups—they are structured, skills-based sessions. Participants learn practical tools and strategies to manage their emotions, navigate conflict, and respond to stress. Homework and skill practice are encouraged between sessions for maximum benefit.
