DBT Intensive 2024-2025
At DBT Saskatchewan, we are excited to introduce our innovative approach to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Our revamped services are designed to provide comprehensive and specialized treatment tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you’re dealing with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Bipolar Disorder (BP) I, or Bipolar Disorder (BP) II, our therapy services are here to support you every step of the way.
Our New Service Model
We have transitioned from traditional DBT Skills training groups to a more personalized model. Our new service includes individual DBT sessions, supplemented by weekly DBT skills training sessions at no extra cost. This ensures you receive both personalized attention and essential skills training for long-term success.
Individual DBT Sessions
Our individual DBT sessions are meticulously tailored to address your specific challenges, particularly those related to BPD and BP I or II. With bi-weekly two-hour sessions, you will have ample time to delve deeply into your thoughts and emotions. Our DBT-trained therapists will work collaboratively with you to develop effective coping strategies, ensuring a personalized and impactful therapeutic experience. These sessions are planned in cycles of four sessions, allowing for structured progress and consistent therapeutic engagement.
DBT Skills Training Sessions
Understanding the importance of consistent practice, we offer weekly online DBT skills training sessions at no additional cost for those participating in individual therapy with one of our therapists. These sessions provide a dedicated space to learn, practice, and reinforce DBT skills, enhancing your ability to regulate emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and navigate distressing situations confidently. Our DBT skills training sessions focus on:
- Mindfulness: Learn to stay present and fully engage with your current experience.
- Distress Tolerance: Develop skills to tolerate and survive crises without making things worse.
- Emotion Regulation: Understand and manage your emotions to reduce vulnerability and improve emotional stability.
- Interpersonal Effectiveness: Build healthier relationships through effective communication and assertiveness skills.
Continuity of Care
A significant advantage of our service model is the continuity of care. You will work with the same therapist for your individual sessions and in the DBT Skills group, ensuring a seamless and cohesive therapeutic journey without the gaps that can occur when working with multiple therapists. This continuity helps to:
- Build Trust: Develop a strong, trusting relationship with your therapist, which is crucial for effective therapy.
- Ensure Consistency: Maintain a consistent therapeutic approach tailored to your unique needs and progress.
- Foster Deep Understanding: Allow your therapist to gain an in-depth understanding of your history, challenges, and goals, leading to more effective treatment.
In-Between Session Support
We understand that support between sessions is vital for continuous improvement. Therefore, we offer in-between-session support through our secure messaging system. This service allows you to reach out to your therapist for guidance and support as needed. Additionally, we provide mandatory daily check-ins through our diary card and journaling app, which helps you:
- Track Emotions and Behaviours: Monitor your emotional patterns and behaviors daily.
- Reflect on Progress: Journal your thoughts and progress, facilitating self-awareness and growth.
- Stay Accountable: Receive prompts and reminders to keep you engaged and accountable in your therapeutic journey.
Intake Session Requirement
All prospective clients are required to attend an individual online intake session. This initial assessment allows us to understand your specific needs, discuss your treatment goals, and ensure that our services are the right fit for you. It also provides an opportunity for you to ask any questions and get a feel for our therapeutic approach.
Insurance and Extended Health Benefits
Our services may be covered by your extended health benefits under psychological therapy or clinical counselling therapy. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to determine the specifics of your coverage, including any required documentation or referrals. Our team is here to assist you with any paperwork or questions you may have regarding insurance claims.
