Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Worthington, OH
Hi, I’m Jasmine, a Licensed Independent Marriage and Family Therapist (IMFT) in Ohio.
I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families navigating relational challenges, trauma, eating disorders, mood disorders, depression, ADHD, anxiety, perfectionism and self-esteem/self-worth challenges. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or struggling to connect with yourself or others, I offer a supportive space to explore what’s beneath the surface—and begin the process of meaningful, lasting change. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I believe healing happens best when we adapt and grow together.

My therapy practice centers on the belief that resolution is achievable when people come together as equals to work through life's difficult transitions and challenges. For some, this resolution requires assistance with healing from grief and loss. For others, practicing acceptance, learning new skills or mindfully and compassionately looking at prior life decisions to determine what has and has not worked is necessary in order to move forward.

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.
