Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is especially helpful for those who experience intense emotions or find it difficult to manage distressing situations. It combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices, offering strategies for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal skills. In our work together, we’ll focus on building skills to help you balance self-acceptance with the desire for change. You’ll learn ways to respond to emotional triggers in a healthier way, practice self-compassion, and improve communication with those around you. DBT is a comprehensive approach that provides you with the tools to navigate both your inner world and your relationships with more balance and resilience.
