Integrating Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Into Your Practice 

Alicia Smart, PhD


Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is quickly becoming one of the most sought after psychotherapy approaches because it is evidence based and complementary with other proven modalities. DBT is closely related to Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and was initially developed for borderline personality disorder, it’s effectiveness has now been demonstrated across a broad range of diagnoses. In this session Dr. Smart will share clinical examples and exercises to apply in your practice. In addition you’ll learn:

  • Theory and Assumptions of DBT
  • How DBT extends CBT through mindfulness skills and practices
  • How to start integrating DBT skills into your practice

Dr. Alicia Smart is the owner and clinical director of the DBT Center of Marin in San Anselmo. She has over 10 year of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and families. Dr. Smart provides individual and group therapy to adults and adolescents for a variety of mood, anxiety, and personality disorders, as well as difficulties with relationships, impulsive behaviors, and "out-of-control" emotions. She received her BA from New York University and earned her Doctorate in Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. Dr. Smart has been intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which combines Western Cognitive Behavior Therapy with Eastern mindfulness practices to effectively address patterns of unstable and extreme emotions, chaotic relationships, destructive behaviors, and feelings of hopelessness.
