“The healing is not the fixing of the broken but the rediscovering of the unbroken.”
“We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.”
DBT is an evidence-based therapy that can help you to learn to control your behaviors, fully experience emotions, solve ordinary life problems, and feel a sense of connection to the world and people around you.
DBT is the treatment of choice for disorders of emotion regulation. Emotional dysregulation can lead to ineffective behaviors or skills deficits which may be maladaptive methods of coping with constant emotional pain or an attempt to deal with out of control emotions.
DBT consists of individual weekly therapy, skills training group, 24/7 phone coaching access, and Consultation Team for all staff.
The Chicago DBT Institute® is one of only 20 Linehan Board Certified DBT Programs in the nation. We chose to pursue DBT-LBC Certification because we wanted to ensure for all of our patients, families, and loved ones that we are offering DBT in a way that conforms to evidence-based research, is adherent to the model developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, and contains all the necessary components and organization to deliver DBT with fidelity to the model.
We do this because we know adherence matters. Read more about the research that demonstrates DBT adherence may save lives —
“There is something wonderfully bold and liberating about saying yes to our entire imperfect and messy life.”
“Radical Acceptance rests on letting go of the illusion of control and a willingness to notice and accept things as they are right now, without judging.”
