Starting Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in Carmel

What is dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)?

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.

How does DBT work?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.

What is DBT best used for?

DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.

What are the 4 pillars of DBT?

The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.

Is DBT better than EMDR?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Is DBT conducted in person or online?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Carmel, IN is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How many months is DBT?

The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.

Gina has been so great at listening and encouraging me to take care of myself. I have appreciated her honesty and support and that I can feel safe to tell her anything. I feel like I'm learning something in every session about myself and how I interact with others, how I talk to myself and treat myself and the self-awareness is so helpful.

I already texted a friend I knew was looking! I've seen three service providers in the past and I've never felt so seen as I did with Shawna Grant!

For the first time, I feel like I found a therapist who sees me and hears me, is really engaged and committed to helping me. I not only have someone who listens, she's given me tools, feedback, steps to make progress in areas I really need help in. I feel like I can safely share everything I'm going through and get honest feedback about what I'm doing right, help in recognizing what I need to work on and a feeling of empowerment in taking steps I am afraid to take. I am very thankful for Gina!!

My provider is always up to date on what is happening in my life and where I left off every time we meet, which is every two weeks sometimes three.

I reached out to Thriveworks just over a year ago and Gina Pike became my therapist. I was struggling at the time but had no idea of the storm that was coming. Gina was critical in helping me navigate what was weekly chaos and a steady stream of external setbacks and challenges. . I get lost sometimes in conveying what was happening and Gina is always able to recall what I just said or bring me back to my original point after three side stories. She is great at listening and recalling people I mentioned a year earlier. Her calm and insightful observations have been foundational in moving forward through the hurricane. She is fantastic
