Facility overview

Facility Summary:

When your child’s mental health disorder has been continuously disruptive to their everyday life and yours, you want to get them evidence-based help that will get to the root of the issue so they can eventually thrive. We believe that dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) can help get them to a better place, which is why Pacific Place has a comprehensive DBT program for patients with complex needs. DBT is an effective treatment for teenagers struggling with outbursts, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, self-harm, mood swings, other high-risk behaviors and multiple hospitalizations. This treatment has 30+ years of empirical evidence supporting DBT’s effectiveness in treating depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder. DBT is considered the gold standard for treating suicide and self-harming behaviors. DBT seeks to understand self-destructive patterns of behavior associated with intense emotions. In doing so, these patterns of behavior are replaced with DBT skills. Mindfulness is also heavily incorporated into DBT. Our goal is to empower patients to make changes that will make their life worth living. When one member of the family struggles with a mental health disorder, the entire family feels it. That’s why family and/or the support system of a patient is involved throughout the duration of treatment. Family programming – which includes online or in-person family sessions with the patient, multi-family groups and visitations on weekends – supports family growth and reconciliation. Families also get immersed in DBT skills training. When you understand what your loved one has learned in treatment and apply the same emotional regulation skills in the home, it can help you be a more effective parent, guardian, brother, sister or friend.
