Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Are you struggling to manage overwhelming emotions or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you? I understand how challenging it can be, and that’s why I offer DBT/Dialectical Behavior Therapy at Unfold Psychology. Together, we can work on bringing balance, stability, and positive change to your life. Let me guide you through what DBT is and how it can help you thrive.

What Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?

As a therapist, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative DBT can be. It’s a structured and evidence-based approach that helps people regulate their emotions, build healthier relationships, and manage distress. Originally developed for individuals with borderline personality disorder, DBT now helps with many challenges like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more.

By blending cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices, DBT equips you with the skills to navigate life’s ups and downs with greater ease and confidence.

My DBT Approach at Unfold Psychology

At Unfold Psychology, I tailor the DBT program to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re a child, adolescent, or adult, my goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard and valued. Therapy with me is more than a process; it’s a partnership.

I also offer concierge mental health services, giving you the flexibility to schedule sessions that work with your busy life. Whether we meet in person or online, you’ll receive the same level of care and attention to detail that reflects the service you deserve.

What Can Dialectical Behavior Therapy Help With?

I use DBT to help clients address a variety of challenges, including:

• Emotional Regulation: Teaching you to understand and manage intense emotions in healthier ways.
• Interpersonal Effectiveness: Helping you improve communication and strengthen relationships.
• Distress Tolerance: Building resilience to face life’s stressors without feeling overwhelmed.
• Mindfulness: Guiding you to focus on the present moment to reduce stress and find clarity.

These skills are practical and empowering, helping you regain control and create a life you’re proud to live.

How Do You Find the Right DBT Therapist?

Finding the right therapist is a personal decision, and I’m here to make that choice easier. When you work with me, I’ll take the time to understand your unique circumstances and needs. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, and I’ll guide you through the process at a pace that feels right for you.

Your trust matters to me, and my goal is to build a relationship where you feel supported and motivated to grow.

How Does DBT Work?

In our sessions, we’ll focus on four main areas:

• Mindfulness: I will help you stay grounded in the present, reducing stress and improving focus.
• Emotional Regulation: Together, we’ll work on managing emotions so they no longer feel overwhelming.
• Interpersonal Skills: I’ll teach you strategies to communicate effectively and build meaningful connections.
• Distress Tolerance: You’ll learn how to cope with difficult situations without resorting to harmful behaviors.

DBT is practical, hands-on, and tailored to you. It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress.

Benefits and Risks of DBT

I’ve seen the incredible impact DBT can have on people’s lives. Many of my clients report feeling more in control of their emotions, making better decisions, and enjoying healthier relationships. Like any therapy, DBT takes time and commitment, but the rewards are worth it.

While it may feel challenging at first, I’ll be with you every step of the way, providing the guidance and support you need to succeed.
