Theraputic Specialties Offered
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Life Skills often determine one’s quality of life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based model of psychotherapy that uses Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles. Originally DBT was developed by Marsha Lineman and initially for those who had more serious Mental Health issues, but the skills proved so effective DBT is now used for a majority of the population for other disorders and quality of life enhancement. Essentially, DBT teaches new skills used to help manage painful emotions and decrease relationship conflict. We see DBT as the “common core” of Social-Emotional learning-skills we don’t learn in school but need to know to ensure a healthy and happy life!
DBT focuses on these four key elements:
- Mindfulness: Ability to accept and be present within the moment
- Distress Tolerance: Increase ability to tolerate negative emotions, rather than trying to escape them
- Emotion Regulation: Tools and strategies to manage and change emotions that are distressing
- Interpersonal Effectiveness: Techniques that support healthy relationships promoting assertive yet kind communication with others
DBT skills can assist people to improve and regulate their emotions, creating more tolerance of distress and negative emotions, allowing a person to be mindful and present within the moment, improve communication, and strengthen relationships with others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality used for a range of challenges including depression, anxiety disorders, and severe mental illness. Like other evidenced based therapies, CBT has shown to be very effective in assisting people with the most common challenges of life too.
CBT is based on several core ideas, including:
- Psychological issues are based, in part, on faulty or unhelpful ways of thinking. (Cognitive Distortions)
- Psychological issues are based, in part, on patterns of unhelpful behavior that we have learned over time.
- People can learn different and healthier ways of coping with challenges to relieve negative emotional symptoms and become happier and more effective in life.
CBT treatment focuses on changing patterns of thinking. Some of the strategies used may include:
- Understanding distorted thinking, how it may create a problem and how to have perspective on these distortions.
- Recognizing behavior and motivation of others and how we respond.
- Gaining problem-solving skills to help manage difficult situations.
- Developing more confidence in one’s own abilities.
CBT treatment goal is to change behavioral patterns. We might do this by the following:
- Understanding and addressing fears instead of avoiding them.
- Role playing to better prepare and be most effective for potential situations and interactions with others.
- Calming the mind and body techniques.
CBT helps you be your own best cheerleader and your own therapist through exercises in session and sometimes outside of sessions. We focus on what is happening today and how to make tomorrow even better.
