We tend to think of change and acceptance as opposing truths, as if accepting our situation means doing nothing about it. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic approach that seeks to transcend this all-or-nothing way of thinking. It teaches us to radically accept our situation as it is, while still working to improve the things within our control. Instead of seeing change and acceptance as opposing truths, DBT allows us to see them as truths that reinforce each other. In other words: embracing acceptance can lead to change, and embracing change can lead to acceptance.
Our DBT program is relationally focused, empathy-oriented, and designed with excellence in mind. Since DBT is rooted in the philosophical concept of dialectics, our therapists work with trained philosophers to fine-tune our approach, amplify accuracy, and distill the spirit of dialectics in an easy-to-understand way.
Group Meets Virtually on Thursday Evenings from 7pm-8:30p Monthly Package – $220 month (Includes 4 DBT groups) $55 Per Group We also offer individual DBT counseling as an optional part of your treatment. These sessions are billed separately at your therapist’s standard hourly rate and can complement your group and coaching work.
