Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT is designed to help people manage intense emotions and reactions that feel hard to control.

You might feel things more strongly than others, have a hard time calming down once you are upset, or find that your reactions impact your relationships. At times, it can feel like you are either overwhelmed or trying to shut things down completely.

DBT focuses on building skills to handle those moments differently. It combines learning how to accept what you are feeling with learning how to change how you respond to it.

This approach is structured and skill-based. It gives you tools to manage emotions, tolerate stress, communicate more effectively, and stay grounded in the moment.

DBT can be especially helpful for emotional intensity, impulsive behaviors, relationship challenges, and patterns that feel difficult to regulate.

You might be noticing:

• Your emotions feel intense or hard to manage
• It is difficult to calm down once you are upset
• You react quickly and regret it later
• Relationships feel unstable or conflict-heavy
• You feel overwhelmed or shut down under stress
• You want more concrete tools to handle difficult moments
