Navigating Life with Balance and Mastery

Overview of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a robust psychotherapy modality designed to instill essential skills like mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Initially developed to address borderline personality disorder, DBT has proven effective for a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and self-harm tendencies.

What Is DBT?

DBT is a cognitive-behavioral approach that incorporates the dialectical philosophy of balance and integration. It focuses on harmonizing acceptance with change, enhancing the capacity to be present, tolerate distress, manage emotions, and build positive interpersonal connections.
