Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy, first developed in the 1980s by Marsha M. Linehan, to treat patients suffering from borderline personality disorder. Since then, DBT’s use has broadened and now it is regularly employed as part of a treatment plan for people struggling with behaviors or emotions they can't control. This can include eating disorders, substance abuse, self-harm, and more. DBT is a skills-based approach that focuses on helping people increase their emotional and cognitive control by learning the triggers that lead to unwanted behaviors. Once triggers are identified, DBT teaches coping skills that include mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. A therapist specializing in DBT will help you to enhance your own capabilities, improve your motivation, provide support in-the-moment, and better manage your own life with problem-solving strategies. Think this approach might work for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s DBT specialists today.

My clients are surprised by the speed at which they receive relief once we begin our work. They deserve relief from the depression, anxiety and anger that has them seeking help. The fall out from Trauma can filter into every part of your life, destroying relationships and leading to behavior you wish you could change. My clients can "breathe" and move forward with lives they only previously dreamed of. You deserve that too.

Do you often feel disconnected from yourself or others? Do you find yourself putting your own needs last? Do you ever wonder if life could feel more fulfilling or joyful? In today's world, many people feel anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how to balance their relationships, careers, and personal lives. Ignoring your own needs or neglecting self-care can have lasting effects on both your mental and physical well-being. I believe that living a better life shouldn't be this difficult.
My clients are those that want to better themselves in some way, but are not quite sure what they want or how to get there. I love working with those that are making major life transitions, such as going to college, getting a new job, moving to a new location, changing a relationship status, etc. Sometimes when we feel stuck in a particular position, our potential gets stuck with us. I love working with eager folks that are ready to start confronting their anxieties in life.
