Dialectical Behavior Therapy
DBT) (Borderline Personality Disorder - BPD)
We offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a specialized approach designed to help individuals develop skills for managing intense emotions and improving overall emotional regulation. DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to foster effective coping strategies. Our therapists guide clients through mindfulness exercises that enhance awareness of thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations in the present moment. This mindfulness practice forms a foundation for emotional regulation, helping clients to identify triggers and respond to emotions in a balanced way. Additionally, our DBT program includes skills training sessions where clients learn practical techniques for managing intense emotions such as distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation skills.

Mindfulness Practices for Emotional Regulation:
In our Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program, we emphasize mindfulness practices as a cornerstone for emotional regulation. Mindfulness involves cultivating present-moment awareness without judgment, which is instrumental in managing intense emotions effectively. Through guided mindfulness exercises and meditation techniques, our therapists help clients develop the capacity to observe their thoughts and emotions impartially. So, whether you struggle with impulsivity, anxiety disorders, or difficulty managing anger, our mindfulness-based approach within DBT offers practical tools to navigate emotional challenges with greater ease and self-awareness.
The primary goal of DBT is to teach individuals skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-destructive behaviors.
DBT is effective for individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), mood disorders, self-harm behaviors, and difficulties managing emotions.
DBT includes mindfulness practices, emotion regulation skills, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance techniques.
DBT treatment involves weekly individual therapy sessions and skills training group sessions, often spanning 6 months to a year or more, depending on individual progress and needs.
