Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that focuses on helping individuals develop practical skills to manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and cope with stress more effectively. DBT emphasizes the balance between acceptance and change, teaching clients to acknowledge their experiences while also working toward healthier behaviors. Core components of DBT include mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which together support greater emotional awareness and self-control.

DBT is especially helpful for individuals who experience strong emotional reactions, difficulty managing stress, or challenges in relationships. Through guided practice and skill-building, clients learn how to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively during difficult situations. Over time, DBT helps individuals build resilience, improve emotional stability, and create more balanced and meaningful lives by strengthening their ability to handle challenges with clarity and confidence.
