Individual Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): A Path to Emotional Wellness

As a DBT therapist, I specialize in providing comprehensive depression treatment and skills training to help you build a life worth living.

What is DBT and How Can It Help You?

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), pioneered by Dr. Marsha Linehan, is a compassionate and highly effective approach designed to help individuals manage intense emotions and build healthier relationships. As a dedicated DBT therapist, I offer specialized DBT treatment that goes beyond traditional therapy methods, addressing a wide range of challenges including symptoms of depression, borderline personality disorder, and substance abuse.

Core Components of DBT Treatment

• Mindfulness Skills: Anchoring in the Present Moment. Rooted in mindfulness training, DBT teaches you to focus on the present moment, reducing anxiety and improving self-awareness. These mindfulness skills form the foundation for other DBT techniques, helping you cultivate a more balanced and centered approach to life.

• Emotion Regulation: Mastering Your Feelings. Learn practical DBT skills for emotion regulation, enabling you to understand and manage your emotions more effectively. This is particularly beneficial for those struggling with mood disorders or co-occurring disorders.

• Distress Tolerance: Navigating Life's Challenges. Develop distress tolerance skills to help you cope with difficult situations without resorting to harmful behaviors. These techniques are invaluable for managing stress, crises, and overwhelming emotions.

• Interpersonal Effectiveness: Building Stronger Relationships. Enhance your interpersonal effectiveness to improve communication, assert your needs, and strengthen your relationships with others.
