Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a targeted psychotherapy designed to help individuals navigate intense emotions and improve mental health. It teaches essential skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and building healthier interpersonal relationships.

Primarily effective for borderline personality disorder, DBT also addresses self-harm and anxiety by fostering adaptive coping strategies while integrating mindfulness techniques that promote both acceptance and personal transformation.

How DBT Can Help

Originally developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was designed for individuals facing suicidal thoughts and self-harm behaviors, particularly those with bipolar disorder.

Research has since revealed its effectiveness in addressing risky behavior, impulsivity, substance use disorders, and various mental health issues such as addiction, anxiety, OCD, and mood instability.

Ongoing participation in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) significantly improves mental, emotional, and physical health.
