DBT stands for dialectical behavior therapy.

It’s an evidence-based, research-tested approach that was originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder using modified principles of cognitive behaviors therapy (CBT) to help people manage stress.

DBT therapy includes techniques that help change unhealthy behaviors and also acceptance strategies. Together, we’ll work to address these challenges at their core and focus on areas that include regulating emotions, controlling impulses, and relationship conflicts.

Will DBT Help Me?

DBT can help many people including people who allow negative thoughts to control them and lack the ability to handle distress. This includes people who have anger management problems and people with ADHD or impulse control issues. Other people who may benefit from DBT therapy include people with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, performance and social anxiety, perfectionism, and people who have experienced trauma.

We offer both one-on-one Individual DBT Therapy and Groups for DBT Therapy.

The DBT skills group is useful for those experiencing emotional distress such as anxiety, depression, or anger, as well as those having difficulty overcoming relationship conflicts, and isolation. The group can help you cope more effectively with intense emotions, relationship struggles, while helping you reduce self-destructive behaviors and learning adaptive ways to manage painful emotions. 

Our DBT Skills Training Group is for high-functioning people who are maintaining full-time work or school schedules, who have difficulties with emotional regulation.
