DBT THERAPY

We offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help people learn to be mindful, aware and empowered so that they can genuinely connect with themselves and others. DBT was originally developed to help individuals who are diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. Borderline characteristics cause individuals to be anxious or fearful in relationships, sometimes emotionally reactive, and often struggling to feel grounded or centered. Since DBT was originally developed, these skills have been found to be effective for people in many different situations. They have been proven to help with anxiety, depression, relationship distress, traumatic experiences, and so much more. Really, they are great life skills for all of us! The core DBT skills include mindfulness, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness and distress tolerance skills.

DBT addresses common problems that keep people stuck in difficult and damaging patterns:
  • Troubling relationship cycles
  • Overwhelming powerful emotions 
  • Affected by trauma triggers
  • Consistently feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, frustrated or hopeless
  • Struggling with thoughts of suicide or self-harm

For the time, we are offering DBT therapy on an individual basis. Feel free to call or email if you are interested in learning about future DBT group offerings!
