Why DBT?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan designed to help people who struggle with intense emotions, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, relationship challenges, and other difficulties. DBT combines acceptance and change — helping you accept yourself as you are while supporting positive change.

 

DBT can help people who may have experienced one or more of the following:

  • Live chaotic and painful lives

  • Frequent suicidal thoughts

  • Are anxious much of the time

  • Feel emptiness and pain

  • Feel out of control of their behavior

  • Hurt themselves deliberately

  • Feel depressed a lot

  • Multiple hospitalizations and failed treatment experiences
