Prolonged Exposure Therapy in Los Angeles
DBT Prolonged Exposure (DBT PE) is an evidence-based trauma treatment designed specifically for DBT clients who struggle with severe comorbid conditions such as personality disorders, mood disorders, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, and substance use disorders—all while also living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
This specialized approach to prolonged exposure therapy in Los Angeles was developed to provide safe trauma treatment for clients with high-risk behaviors - individuals who might otherwise not have access to trauma therapy in a traditional treatment setting.
How Does DBT Prolonged Exposure Therapy Work?
Much like standard DBT treatment, DBT PE therapy follows a structured, collaborative trauma recovery process between the therapist and the client. The goal is to decrease life-threatening behaviors while preparing the client for PTSD exposure therapy through the use of DBT skills for trauma recovery.
By mastering DBT trauma-informed care techniques, clients are better equipped to face and process their trauma in a controlled and supportive environment, ultimately working toward their “life worth living” goal.
Who Can Benefit from DBT Prolonged Exposure Therapy?
If you or a loved one is struggling with PTSD and co-occurring disorders, DBT PE treatment in Los Angeles may be an effective solution. This approach is ideal for individuals who:
Experience severe PTSD symptoms but have been unable to engage in traditional exposure therapy
Have a history of self-harm, suicidal ideation, or other life-threatening behaviors
Struggle with substance use disorders, dissociation, or eating disorders alongside PTSD
Need safe, structured trauma treatment with an emphasis on emotional regulation
