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 ideal client is one who is open-minded, motivated and committed to personal growth and positive change. Ideally, they possess a strong desire to improve their relationships and are willing to work collaboratively with me to achieve those goals.
You are in your career and successful, and still feel like you are not measuring up. For years you’ve hidden yourself away, tucked into a box, because you were told you weren’t good enough as you are. You had to follow “the rules” of your family, friends, or religious community in order to be loved and accepted. Rules like: what to wear, how to act, who to love. I know what it’s like to internalize messages that I had to live a certain way in order to be accepted. I can help you be fully you.

We specialize in working with people who have experienced difficult life circumstances, highly sensitive people (HSP), and those who feel hopeless & anxious. They are often high achieving but struggle with feeling never good enough or unlovable. They are left feeling empty, shamed, & insignificant at the end of the day. We also help couples who feel that they have drifted apart & help grow intimacy and communication. We view our clients as intelligent, curious, and resourceful individuals.
