What is DBT?
What is DBT?
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) was originally designed to help people regulate and manage intense emotions. When emotions are intense and unpredictable, people can have issues with stable relationships and impulsive behavior. DBT also helps with chronic suicidality, unstable sense of self, and/or persons carrying a diagnosis (or traits) of borderline personality disorder. DBT incorporates change-based strategies as well as acceptance-based strategies. I can help you learn about and practice mindfulness, being more aware of the present moment, in order to be better able to sit with emotions and thoughts. Let me help you learn about your inner world, so you can change distressing aspects of it.

DBT was originally designed to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD), a condition marked by frantic efforts to avoid abandonment, chronic suicidality, difficulty managing intense emotion, black-and-white thinking (all-or-nothing thinking), unstable sense of self, and feelings of emptiness. A lot of people with BPD struggle with seeing people as having "good" and "bad" aspects, leading some people to view someone as "all good" or "all bad." I have seen many different presentations of this condition.

I have certified training in DBT from Behavioral Tech, LLC, which is founded by Marsha Linehan, PhD, the inventor of DBT. I have been practicing DBT for over 10 years, outpatient and inpatient. I'd love to talk more about how DBT can help you.

How is DBT different from CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)?
How is DBT different from CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)?
A lot of people group CBT with DBT, and while they are both part of the "newer" wave of therapies, they are very different in how they help psychiatric symptoms. CBT is all about changing negative patterns in thinking, with emphasis on change. How do you think about yourself, others, the world, and your future? What core beliefs make up the blueprint of your mind? Let's discuss how negative thoughts and beliefs influence your emotions, actions, and moods so we can get you feeling better, and feeling better.
