Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Denver, CO
I draw from EMDR, IFS, DBT and somatic practices to help you reconnect with yourself and make grounded, lasting shifts—not just symptom relief.
Hi, I’m Cecilia Kim, a Korean American licensed therapist and the founder of Honest Ground Therapy—a space rooted in deep presence, cultural wisdom and real healing. My work is guided by the Korean concept of nunchi (눈치)—the subtle art of emotional attunement and relational awareness. Nunchi isn’t just a cultural value for me; it’s a way of being. It shapes how I listen, how I hold space and how I honor each client’s unspoken truth. At Honest Ground Therapy, you won’t find surface level advice or forced positivity. This is a space where you can be fully seen in your complexity—where nuance, depth and transformation are honored.

Schedule a free consultation instantly through my website in my bio! Hello, I'm Frank! I believe we all have something unique to offer the world and adversity alone should not stop us from pursuing our fullest potential. When we’re stuck in defense patterns, compassion and creativity go offline. Left unexamined, this can become our normal way of being. Which can kinda work… until it doesn’t. And when the wheels fall off, we’re often faced with another moment of crisis. Having a trusted and skilled therapist can support your mind and body’s ability to rebound from a traumatic experience and create a new way forward.

I draw from CBT and DBT interventions, with therapy tailored to what matters most in your life right now.
Sometimes nothing is inherently wrong. It just starts feeling harder to carry everything. Anxiety gets louder. Mood feels heavier. Relationships feel more complicated. Or a life change leaves you feeling off balance in a way you can’t quite explain. Therapy can make sense when you notice you’re running out of room to keep doing it the same way.

Are old patterns, such as people-pleasing, shutting down, hyper-independence or staying hyper-alert, keeping you from the life you want to live? Do you feel like you’re constantly in survival mode, even when things are calm? Have you ever found yourself wondering why certain situations trigger such strong reactions? Trauma can leave us feeling stuck, repeating behaviors that once kept us safe but now hold us back.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
