dialectical behavior therapy for adults at InsightDBT

Welcome to the Adult Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program at InsightDBT. Our comprehensive approach to DBT is designed to empower adults ages 18 and up on their journey towards emotional well-being and improved quality of life. Just as we've successfully supported teenagers, we're excited to extend our expertise to adults seeking effective strategies for managing emotions, building relationships, and cultivating mindfulness. You and your dbt therapist will build skills that will last a lifetime.

Our adult DBT program begins with individual therapy sessions. In these one-on-one sessions, you will work closely with a skilled therapist to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Your therapist will help you identify patterns, set goals, and develop strategies to navigate life's challenges more effectively. This personalized approach ensures that your unique needs are addressed comprehensively.

Participating in our skills group is a fundamental aspect of our adult DBT program. This group setting provides a supportive environment for learning practical skills to manage emotions, enhance distress tolerance, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and practice mindfulness. Our structured curriculum equips you with valuable tools to apply in various situations, promoting personal growth and well-being.

Life doesn't always follow a schedule, and challenges can arise between sessions. Our adult DBT program includes phone coaching, allowing you to reach out to your therapist for guidance and support. This additional layer of support helps you apply the skills you've learned in real-life situations, ensuring continuity of care and facilitating your progress.

Our treatment goals are extensive. We had to create a page in itself to have enough room to list them. Please link to that page here:

While our primary focus remains on adolescent care, we recognize the importance of extending our expertise to adults seeking effective DBT treatment. Our adult program is designed to be hybrid, combining both Zoom virtual sessions and in-person sessions in our Merrick and Wantagh, NY locations. Please note that our adult cohort is currently limited due to our dedication to providing optimal care to teenagers. This ensures that our resources and attention are maximized for the demographic we specialize in.

At InsightDBT, we understand that true transformation takes time and dedication. We ask participants in both our Adolescent and Adult DBT programs to commit to a six-month journey, allowing them to cycle through all the DBT skills in the skills group. Optimal results are often achieved after a year of treatment, and our programs are designed to accommodate individuals who choose to stay longer as needed.

We recognize that everyone's schedule is unique, and busy lifestyles can make it challenging to prioritize mental health. That's why InsightDBT offers flexible scheduling for both individual therapy and skills groups. We understand that life can be demanding, and our hybrid program is designed to provide convenient treatment options. Whether in-person or through telehealth, our aim is to work with you to find a schedule that aligns with your needs, within the bounds of our program's capacity.

If you're an adult seeking to enhance your emotional well-being, manage challenges, and cultivate valuable life skills, our adult DBT program can be a transformative journey. While space is limited, we are committed to providing the same expert care that has made InsightDBT a trusted name in adolescent therapy.
