At DBT Maryland, we believe that in order to build a life worth living, people need validation, support and practical skills. We strive to provide empathic, accepting and productive therapeutic relationships so you can feel safe while moving toward your goals. Each person's situation is unique and our therapy approach will be designed to meet your individual needs. Many of our clients suffer from problems of emotional dysregulation (borderline personality, PTSD, depression, anxiety & bipolar) most effectively addressed by a comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program.
DBT helps you to create a life worth living. We offer a comprehensive DBT program which includes individual DBT sessions, weekly DBT skills groups, phone coaching between sessions, and our therapists all attend a weekly DBT consultation team meeting.
At DBT Maryland we are ready to support you with an atmosphere of validation and acceptance so that you can make difficult changes and feel more in control of your life. Give us a call today.
