Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based approach that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and acceptance strategies. Originally developed to support individuals with borderline personality disorder, DBT has since been adapted to address a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

​

At our practice, we specialize in providing DBT to help individuals manage intense emotions, navigate interpersonal challenges, and cope with distressing situations in a healthy and constructive way. The therapy is structured around four core skill sets:

​

• Mindfulness: Cultivating awareness and acceptance of the present moment.

• Distress Tolerance: Building resilience to navigate crises without making things worse.

• Emotion Regulation: Understanding and managing intense emotional experiences.

• Interpersonal Effectiveness: Strengthening communication skills and fostering healthier relationships.

​

During DBT sessions, our  therapists provide a structured, supportive environment where clients can learn and practice these skills in real-time. Through a combination of individual therapy, skills training groups, and coaching, clients are empowered to apply what they learn to their daily lives. This integrative approach helps reduce problematic behaviors, improve emotional stability, and foster a greater sense of self-worth.

​

Whether you’re facing self-harming behaviors, mood swings, relationship conflicts, or other complex challenges, DBT can equip you with the tools needed to create meaningful and lasting change. Our therapists are committed to providing personalized, goal-oriented treatment, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way as you work toward building a life worth living.
