Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

DBT is for persons who struggle with low self-esteem, negative thinking patterns, depression, anxiety, anger, ineffective communication and self-destructive behaviors. Clients will: (1) Increase a sense of personal identity and learn to become more self-aware through the use of mindfulness; (2) improve judgment and strengthen interpersonal skills through effective communication; (3) learn to ease suffering by regulating emotions and face feelings without fear and (4) reduce a sense of crisis by understanding how to accept and tolerate distress.
