Our clients need help reducing their intense and persistent emotional suffering, especially when emotional behaviors have created additional problems, like addiction, or losing jobs or relationships. They have struggled to find peaceful, meaningful relationships, facing frequent stressful conflicts or painful loneliness. Often many previous therapies have not worked for them, and so they need a stronger skills-based approach in addition to therapy support.
We are highly trained in DBT. The clinic director was mentored for many years by Dr. Marsha Linehan, founder of DBT, which culminated in them jointly conducting DBT research and training. Our comprehensive programs for adults and teens include individual therapy, skills groups, and skills coaching between sessions.— so support is there when it matters most.
We balance acceptance and compassion with the science of how to change emotions and behaviors. DBT works. Even for those who have felt nothing else has. We help clients build a meaningful life — that they experience as worth living — one step, one skill at a time.
