What Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?
DBT is a skills-based approach built around four areas. It gives you practical tools for managing intense emotions and relationships, not just space to talk through them.
Staying present with what is actually happening, right now, instead of getting swept into the story around it.
Getting through an intense moment without making it worse, without needing the feeling to disappear first.
Understanding what an emotion is telling you and building real ways to turn its intensity up or down.
Asking for what you need, holding a boundary, and staying in a relationship without losing yourself in it.
Who DBT Helps
DBT is closely tied to BPD, and it also helps people well beyond that. Our team will talk through your specific situation, not assume one.
DBT was originally developed for borderline personality disorder and remains one of the most effective treatments for it. If that word has come up for you, this is where it's actually addressed.
You do not need a diagnosis to benefit. DBT gives you concrete ways to work through intense feelings and reactions that seem to come out of nowhere, so they stop running your day.
Interpersonal effectiveness skills help you ask for what you need, hold a boundary, and stay in the relationship without losing yourself, on either end of the conversation.

Both work with thoughts and behaviors, but DBT places more emphasis on emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills, and includes a stronger focus on relationships and interpersonal patterns. Our team can help you understand which approach fits your specific situation.
Do I need a diagnosis to start DBT?
No formal diagnosis is required to reach out. Our team will talk through what you're experiencing and help determine whether DBT is the right fit.
Do you accept insurance for DBT?
