Dialectical Behavior Therapy and DBT skills groups in Orland Park, Illinois

Personal Balance Counseling provides Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and DBT skills groups in Orland Park, Illinois. DBT is a practical, evidence-based treatment that helps people manage intense emotions, tolerate distress, improve relationships, and make choices that support long-term goals.

What DBT teaches

DBT balances acceptance and change: learning to understand your current experience while also building skills to respond differently. The core skill areas are mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

These skills can be helpful for people experiencing emotional dysregulation, impulsive behaviors, self-defeating patterns, relationship instability, chronic distress, anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, or features of borderline personality disorder. A clinician will determine whether DBT is appropriate for your specific needs.

Individual DBT and skills groups

DBT may include individual therapy, structured skills training, and coaching support depending on the program and clinician. Skills groups are educational and practice-focused; they are not the same as an unstructured process group. PBC offers programming for adults and teens based on current enrollment and availability.

Is DBT the right fit?

Our intake team will gather basic information and help connect you with the appropriate clinician or group. Because DBT requires active participation and practice outside sessions, readiness, scheduling, clinical needs, and program availability are considered before enrollment.
