Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Balance Emotions, Strengthen Relationships, and Regain Control

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured, skills-based treatment designed to help individuals regulate intense emotions, manage stress, and improve relationships. At Star City Recovery, DBT is a vital part of our integrated treatment approach—empowering clients to build a more stable and fulfilling life.

Understanding Dialectical Behavior Therapy

DBT was originally developed to support individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder, but its effectiveness extends to those facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. This therapy blends acceptance with change, helping clients acknowledge their current experiences while learning strategies to move forward in healthier ways.

DBT skills focus on four core areas:

  • Emotion Regulation – Manage overwhelming emotions and reduce reactivity

  • Distress Tolerance – Cope with difficult situations without harmful behaviors

  • Interpersonal Effectiveness – Communicate clearly and maintain balanced relationships

  • Mindfulness – Stay grounded in the present moment to increase awareness and calm

DBT helps individuals move beyond emotional chaos by cultivating resilience, clarity, and connection.

Our Comprehensive Approach to DBT

At Star City Recovery, DBT is carefully integrated into personalized recovery plans. Our approach is designed to meet you where you are and guide you through evidence-based strategies that drive lasting change.
