Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, also known as DBT, was initially developed for the treatment of patients with Borderline Personality Disorder. Currently, its effectiveness is proven for people with intense emotional dysregulation and/or chronic self-destructive and/or self-injurious behaviors.

The expected result of this treatment is the regulation of extreme emotions, impulsivity and dysfunctional behaviors, through techniques of acceptance, change and mindfulness.

This approach constitutes a cycle of intensive patient care, consisting of:

- Individual psychotherapy in DBT;

- DBT Skills Training (individual);

- Assistance of a therapeutic companion;

- Guidance and support to the family;

In general, sessions should take place once a week.

Biweekly sessions should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, after at least one month of weekly sessions to ascertain the complexity of the case.

In Dialectical Behavior Therapy, it may be necessary to have sessions twice a week if the patient opts for skills training and individual psychotherapy.

In the Brief Psychotherapy modality, there is no possibility of fortnightly sessions.

In person sessions take place at DOM Clínica Terapêutica, located at Rua Desembargador Motta, 3574 - Mercês, in the city of Curitiba-PR. The therapeutic setting was carefully planned to provide the best possible experience in terms of reception, comfort, secrecy and aesthetics.

Online sessions occur via Google Meet.

You need to have equipment with internet access, a good camera and microphone, in addition to having access to a quiet place where your privacy is preserved and you feel free to address even the most intimate topics.

The camera needs to stay on. This is essential for a better communication and for the psychologist to get to know you. It is also considered a security element to ensure that you are not with other people who may violate your privacy or physical integrity.

For couples, consideration will be given to the couple's ability to communicate in an online meeting. Likewise, it is essential that the psychologist is able to see all the people involved.

No. There is no psychotherapeutic approach that takes care of all the psychological demands that exist. Cases such as autism, severe schizophrenia or dementia, for example, may have other more effective approaches.
