DBT is a psychiatric treatment designed to help manage emotional responses away from self-destructive behaviors. The goal of this therapy is to learn mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These strategies work on replacing harmful behaviors with life-enhancing ones.
DBT can use both individual psychotherapy and group therapy to treat the patient’s mental health needs.
In California, since the passage of SB-221 which went into effect starting July 2022, health plans and insurances are required to provide timely access to care including follow up appointments for primary care and specialist appointments as well as for other mental health follow-up appointments within 10-15 days.
