Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers a comprehensive set of skills to help individuals manage intense emotions, improve relationship dynamics, and build resilience. DBT focuses on four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness helps you stay present in the moment, while distress tolerance teaches you how to cope with negative emotions. 

Emotion regulation provides strategies to manage intense feelings, and interpersonal effectiveness helps you communicate confidently and respectfully with others. Through DBT, individuals learn to balance acceptance and change, providing the tools necessary to handle life's challenges in a healthier way. While originally developed for treating borderline personality disorder, DBT is now used successfully for conditions like depression, PTSD, eating disorders, and substance abuse. 

DBT treatment typically includes individual therapy sessions and skills groups, where you can practice techniques and receive mutual support. If you’re ready to gain better control over your emotions and improve your relationships, I invite you to reach out today to explore how DBT can help.
