What Exactly is DBT?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals struggling with intense emotions, self-destructive behaviors, and emotional dysregulation. Whether you’re facing challenges like chronic anxiety, PTSD, self-harm, or suicidal thoughts, DBT offers a structured path to healing. We combine cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help you identify and change negative thought patterns while staying grounded in the present moment.
One of the key pain points for many individuals is feeling overwhelmed by emotions, reacting impulsively, or struggling to maintain healthy relationships. DBT directly addresses these issues by teaching practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Remember, DBT isn’t just about surviving; it’s about thriving.
