Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and reduce harmful behaviors. Originally developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan for borderline personality disorder, DBT is now widely used for anxiety, depression, eating disorders, out of control emotions, borderline personality disorder, trauma & PTSD, toxic relationships, and more. It combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and acceptance strategies. DBT focuses on four key skills: emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. Through individual therapy, group skills training, and phone coaching, clients learn to navigate life with greater balance and self-control. DBT can be helpful for adults and teens. DBT empowers individuals to create a life worth living, even in the face of emotional pain.
