Evolve Comprehensive DBT Treatment for Teens offers specialized residential treatment for adolescents ages 12-17 dealing with mental health, addiction, and behavioral issues. Located in Tarzana, CA, Evolve Vanalden is the first Comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Residential Treatment Center in California and one of only a few in the country. DBT is an evidence-based treatment designed to reduce emotional dysregulation, self-harming behavior, and suicidal ideation. The center provides a robust clinical program, including individual and family therapy, DBT Skills Training Groups, and 24/7 skills coaching, helping teens learn and apply the four core skills of DBT: Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness.
What is Comprehensive DBT?
Evolve Vanalden is a fully compliant Comprehensive DBT program, meaning it includes all four components of Dialectical Behavior Therapy: individual and family therapy, skills training, skills coaching, and weekly staff consultation teams. The Executive Clinical Director, intensively trained in DBT through Behavioral Tech, leads a team of licensed DBT clinicians and counselors who are trained to respond to crises and provide real-time, face-to-face skills coaching 24/7. The multidisciplinary team, including a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist, therapists, nurses, and 24-hour support staff, works together to ensure each teen receives the highest standard of care.
