What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that emphasizes the psychosocial aspects of treatment. DBT focuses on teaching skills to manage emotional distress, improve relationships, and reduce self-destructive behaviors. It combines traditional cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help individuals accept and change their thoughts and behaviors.

How Dialectical Behavior Therapy Can Help

DBT is highly effective for a wide range of mental health issues and life challenges. It is particularly beneficial for women dealing with:

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

BPD can make emotions feel intense and relationships feel unstable. DBT was built with this in mind, offering real skills to help you find steadiness in yourself and your connections.

Chronic Anxiety and Depression

When anxiety and depression feel like a constant background noise, it can be hard to imagine things feeling different. DBT provides practical tools to help shift patterns that have kept you stuck.

Self-Harm

Self-harm often starts as a way to cope with pain that feels unbearable. DBT helps you understand those urges without judgment and build healthier ways to move through overwhelming moments.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Trauma can leave you feeling like your nervous system is always braced for impact. DBT supports your ability to tolerate distress and regain a sense of safety in your daily life.

Emotional Dysregulation

If your emotions tend to go from zero to one hundred quickly, you’re not broken — you just need the right tools. DBT helps you understand your emotional responses and move through them with more control.

Impulsivity and Risky Behavior

Acting quickly in moments of pain or intensity can feel like the only option in the moment. DBT builds awareness around those impulses so you can pause and choose a different path.

Relationship Difficulties

Navigating relationships when emotions run high can feel exhausting for everyone involved. DBT teaches interpersonal skills that help you stay connected without losing yourself in the process.

Low Distress Tolerance

Some situations feel impossible to sit with, making even small stressors feel unbearable. DBT helps you build a genuine capacity to get through hard moments without making them worse.
