What We Do
At Clarity Behavioral Health, we provide a single stop for all outpatient mental health treatment and other behavioral health issues. Our services include psychotherapy, assessment, consultation, medication evaluation and management, and professional referral. Our clinicians have expertise working with children, adolescents, adults, and families.
We provide outpatient treatment with two levels of care: standard outpatient and an intensive outpatient (IOP) treamtent for teens. The adolescent IOP, called Clarity Intensive, is based on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). DBT is an evidence-based treatment for individuals who struggle with emotion regulation and similar issues. In addition to treatment, Clarity Behavioral Health also provides comprehensive psychological evaluations, including personality assessments, cognitive assessments, and ADHD evaluations.
What is DBT?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive behavioral treatment developed by Marsha Linehan, PhD, ABPP. Traditionally, DBT is made up of four components: individual therapy, group skills training, telephone coaching, and provider consultation team. Group skills training aims to teach clients behavioral skills that can help them cope with challenges. Skills training for adolescents covers five modules: mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, walking the middle path, and emotion regulation. Individual therapy is focused on helping clients develop a life worth living. DBT therapists emphasize balancing acceptance and change and use validation to enhance client motivation.
DBT has been shown to be effective in treating a myriad of mental health concerns, including personality disorders, depression, and parasuicidal behaviors (e.g., cutting). It is particularly effective at reducing both parasuicidal behaviors and suicide risk. Although originally developed for adults, DBT has been adapted for adolescents and has demonstrated effectiveness at reducing both depression and parasuicidal behaviors in adolescents. Additionally, the DBT model has been shown to reduce client attrition as well as burnout for treatment providers. DBT prioritizes addressing target behaviors to help therapists organize treatment and maximize the client safety, adherence to treatment, and overall wellness.
