Calgary DBT Therapists

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) was originally developed for borderline personality disorder and is now considered first-line treatment for chronic suicidality, self-harm, and severe emotional dysregulation. It combines cognitive-behavioural techniques with mindfulness and acceptance practices, taught across four core skill areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

What to look for: Full DBT typically involves individual therapy plus a weekly skills group. Ask whether the therapist runs a group or refers to one, whether they've completed DBT-Linehan Board certification or intensive training, and how they handle between-session phone coaching (a standard DBT feature).
