About DBTAlliance

Welcome to DBTAlliance, an inclusive and collaborative alliance of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) practitioners from various training centers, including CDBT, Behavior Tech, Dr. Swenson, and many more. We are dedicated to fostering connections and promoting the professional development of all practitioners who practice or aspire to practice DBT.

Our Mission

At DBTAlliance, our mission is to create a thriving network and promote the professional development of DBT practitioners. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that was originally developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan. DBT is widely recognized for its effectiveness in treating individuals struggling with emotion regulation, self-destructive behaviors, and borderline personality disorder. By bringing together professionals from various DBT training centers, we aim to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and experiences within the DBT community.

What is DBT?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and acceptance strategies. DBT was developed to help individuals who experience intense emotional dysregulation, impulsive behaviors, self-harm, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships. This comprehensive therapeutic method focuses on building skills in four core areas:

1. Mindfulness: Developing awareness of the present moment, promoting emotional regulation, and enhancing interpersonal effectiveness.
2. Emotion Regulation: Learning strategies to manage and control intense emotions.
3. Interpersonal Effectiveness: Building assertiveness, effective communication, and conflict resolution skills.
4. Distress Tolerance: Developing coping skills to handle crises and overwhelming situations.

DBT is a versatile and effective approach that can be applied to a wide range of mental health conditions, making it a valuable tool for clinicians and therapists across diverse practice settings.
