Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach designed to help people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or struggle with patterns that make life more difficult. While originally developed for individuals with borderline personality disorder, DBT is now widely used to support anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, and relationship challenges.
DBT is “dialectical,” meaning it balances acceptance — embracing yourself as you are — with positive change, helping you create a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. The therapy teaches practical skills in:
- Mindfulness – staying present and grounded, even in intense moments
- Emotional regulation – managing overwhelming feelings without harmful behaviors
- Distress tolerance – coping effectively with stressful situations
- Interpersonal effectiveness – improving communication and building stronger relationships
Working with a certified DBT therapist means you’ll receive structured, supportive guidance through a proven approach that has helped thousands of people around the world. Step by step, DBT equips you with tools to cope with life’s challenges calmly, respond effectively to emotions, and build a more fulfilling, resilient life.
