Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured therapy that helps people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and cope with stress in healthier ways. Originally developed to treat borderline personality disorder, it is now used for anxiety, depression, trauma, and other emotional challenges.
DBT focuses on balancing acceptance and change, helping clients accept themselves while learning practical skills to improve their lives. Therapy includes individual sessions, group skills training, and phone coaching for real-time support. Clients learn skills in four key areas: mindfulness (staying present), distress tolerance (coping with crises), emotion regulation (managing intense feelings), and interpersonal effectiveness (building healthy relationships). These skills are designed to be practical and applicable in everyday life. DBT is collaborative and goal-focused, giving clients tools to create meaningful change, build resilience, and feel more empowered in their daily lives. |
