Offering DBT and Radically Open DBT! Are you always extremely organized? Do you put 110% into your work and set high personal standards? Good for you! These traits are often applauded by society, and those around us, however, research shows that “too much of a good thing” can lead to other problems such as chronic depression, anxiety, anorexia nervosa, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.If you are someone who is using self harm to cope, or experiencing suicidal thoughts and urges, I am here to support as well. I am passionate about supporting people with borderline personality disorder as it can be so misunderstood.
RO DBT was created to support people with “over controlled coping”, and consists of practical skills to let go of rigid rules and beliefs, open our lives to novel experiences, and connect with others on a deeper level. On the other hand, DBT supports people with "under controlled coping", and consists of practical skills to manage emotions and impulsivity.
Please note that as a person with lived experience of mental health struggles, I will never judge you. My background stems from an Anti-Oppressive lens, and I recognize the struggles that come as a result of a society that has marginalized countless identities. If this speaks to you, rest assured that this aspect of your story will not be ignored.
