Adult DBT
Many of our clients are transitioning from residential programs, PHP or IOP programs back into their day to day routines. We structure treatment to be supportive of those transitions and aim to prevent return to a higher level of care. We also frequently work with clients who have found other forms of therapy ineffective and are interested in a more intensive approach.
Our Program
Our comprehensive DBT program is an outpatient therapy program for adults who struggle to control their emotions and behaviors. This program follows an evidence based portocol and is highly structured and solution focused Treatment focuses on replacing destructive habits, emotions and thoughts with more effective solutions.

Evidence-based treatment
Individuals with complex, co-occurring or hard to treat conditions, who have found other forms of treatment ineffective, often find the DBT model effective. This model balances supportive and insight focused individual therapy with skill building and psycho-educational group support. Clients are taught Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance and Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills and then given individualized support to master and apply them.
Why it works
GLTC’s comprehensive DBT model is designed to break the cycle of repeated crises by providing effective and strategic support. The outpatient nature of this program allows clients the opportunity to stay in their day to day lives while receiving the necessary guidance to apply DBT skills “in the moment”. Additionally, the required caregiver involvement throughout all phases of treatment allows the family system to adapt and therefore not only support the teen’s recovery but often solidify it.
