There are moments in life when you feel stuck making life altering decisions, you are emotionally drained due to previous or present experiences, you worry about the future, or you feel grief due to a loss. It is these moments, and all in between, that create the pathways of your life. The realizations, epiphanies, or catalysts for change are often times not visible through a black and white perspective because of the intricacies of ourselves and our relation to others. This is a place where you are able to be vulnerable with yourself, enhance your strengths, continue your road of resilience, and discuss all that lies in gray.

Have you ever felt as if you’ve never fit in, perhaps from your earliest memories? Or been told that you’re too sensitive, compared negatively to others, or the "black sheep" of the family? You may feel as if nothing you do is good enough. So far, doing the opposite of what you were raised with has gotten you through life, but memories, resentment, & shame, cloud the happy moments. That feeling of "there has to be more to life" is there, but you're unsure how to begin. Breaking the cycle is hard, but you don't have to do it alone any longer.

Have lost interest in activities you used to love? Do you feel restless, tense, or like you can’t catch your breath? Do you wish to explore what sexual attraction means to you, how you see yourself, or how you wish to express yourself? I understand that exploring life’s hurdles can be overwhelming – whether related to your identity, feelings and emotions, or other aspects of life. As an LPC-Associate and member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I know how isolating it can feel to navigate a world that doesn't always understand or accept you.

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.
