Is Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT) Right For Me?

Dialectic Behavior Therapy skills training class is for those who struggle to regulate their emotions and who are wanting to decrease ineffective behaviors. In DBT four sets of skills are taught: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Combined, these skills give you the tools to be more effective in your life and to "build a life worth living."

​

The DBT program Green Couch Counseling is 28 weeks. The 28 weeks are broken into 4 seven-week modules: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness. 

​

Skills Training Modules You Will Participate In: 

​1) Emotion Regulation: You will learn skills that change your relationship with your emotions. Emotion regulations skills decrease emotional suffering and  teach what emotions do for you.

​

2) Distress Tolerance: These are not for everyday use, but are to use when in crisis, when having an urge to self harm, or to prevent a situation from becoming worse or creating new problems. 

​

3) Interpersonal effectiveness: These skills allow you to function more effectively in relationships and improve your communication.

​

4) Mindfulness: These skills allow you to operate in the present and be more in touch with what is in front of you in the moment. These skills are foundational to the other three modules skills. 

 

​Cost: $60/ week. We do not accept private insurance for DBT skills training, however, Colorado Medicaid does pay for skills training classes.  We ask that you commit to 1 module or 7 weeks when joining a skills class.
