Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Struggling with intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, or unstable relationships? Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) may help.

DBT is an evidence-based therapy designed to support people who feel overwhelmed by their emotions and who may engage in behaviors that create pain or disconnection in their lives. Originally developed to treat borderline personality disorder, DBT is now widely used for a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harm, and emotion dysregulation.

In DBT, we work together to build concrete skills in four key areas:

• Mindfulness – learning to stay grounded in the present moment

• Emotion Regulation – managing intense feelings without becoming overwhelmed

• Distress Tolerance – surviving crisis situations without making things worse

• Interpersonal Effectiveness – navigating relationships with confidence and clarity

Whether you’re navigating big emotional waves or just feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, DBT offers structure, skills, and support to help you build a life worth living—on your terms.
