What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured, evidence-based treatment designed to help people better manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and reduce impulsive or self-defeating behaviors. Originally developed for individuals experiencing significant emotional dysregulation, DBT is now widely used to help people navigate a variety of emotional and interpersonal challenges.

How DBT Can Help

DBT combines acceptance with practical change strategies. Rather than judging emotions as "good" or "bad," DBT teaches skills for responding to them more effectively.

DBT can be especially helpful for:

  • Difficulty regulating emotions

  • Anxiety and mood disorders

  • Personality disorders

  • Relationship conflict

  • Impulsivity

  • Chronic stress

What to Expect

Treatment focuses on developing skills in four key areas: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills help you navigate life's challenges with greater confidence, stability, and resilience.
