Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
is a structured therapy approach that focuses on teaching in a collaborative effort with a client. It focuses on teaching four core skill modules that include mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT helps clients accept their reality, emotions, and behaviors. Once acceptance is accomplished, change can then occur. This approach helps clients with an array of mental health conditions such as mood disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, trauma related disorders, substance use disorders, etc. The strong educational component will also help with navigating social relationships and communication. I provide a modified DBT version that does not include group therapy.
