Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive, evidence-based treatment approach developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan to help individuals build lives worth living. Originally designed to support people experiencing chronic emotion dysregulation, self-harm, and suicidal behaviors, DBT has become one of the most effective and widely used treatment models across behavioral health, healthcare, educational, and community settings.
Today, DBT is used with adolescents and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, developmental and intellectual disabilities, and other complex mental health challenges. By combining acceptance and change strategies, DBT helps individuals improve emotional regulation, strengthen relationships, build distress tolerance, and practice mindfulness.
At The Bridge Training Institute, our DBT trainings equip clinicians, educators, human service professionals, supervisors, and organizational leaders with practical, skills-based strategies that can be applied immediately. Through interactive learning, case examples, and experiential exercises, participants gain confidence in using core DBT techniques, including mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, validation, and behavioral analysis.
Whether you are new to DBT, seeking to strengthen your clinical skills, or looking to enhance services within your organization, The Bridge Training Institute provides engaging, evidence-based training that translates theory into practice and supports meaningful outcomes for the individuals, families, and communities you serve.
