Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Lakewood, CO
My name is Maury, and I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, addictions, and grief/loss.
My therapeutic style is collaborative, exploratory, and deeply existential. In our work together, we check morality at the door - right and wrong have no business in our work together. My goal is to help you reconnect with your inner world, help you to tell the truth (to yourself) about your deeply complicated life and rediscover meaning. In our sessions, we bring to light the deeper questions that quietly shape how you live. What happened to you? What matters to you? What gives your life purpose? What are you REALLY afraid of?

If you’re a smart, thoughtful woman over 50 who’s frustrated with eating or weight—and nothing seems to be working anymore—I’ve got you. Many of the women I work with have tried to eat “healthy” for years, yet their body isn’t responding the way it used to. You may be eating less but gaining weight, or feeling like you’ve lost your rhythm with food, energy, or confidence.
It doesn’t have to be this hard. With a wiser, abundance-based approach, most of my clients not only lose weight, but also sleep better, feel calmer, and get peace with food again.

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.
