Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in White Oak, PA
My therapeutic approach draws from EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT), Narrative Therapy, and Relational-Cultural Therapy.
As an EMDR therapist in training, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating the impact of trauma, with particular interests in domestic and sexual violence, eating disorders, and the many ways past experiences can shape how we relate to ourselves and others. I work with adults and adolescents who are seeking a space to better understand their stories, strengthen coping skills, and move toward healing. I believe that you already hold the tools and strengths needed for growth. Some times we just need a supportive space to help activate and trust them. I create an environment, where you can feel safe, seen, and heard.

At Pause Counseling Services, our aim is just that - to give you the chance to take a pause in your day and focus on healing and meeting your needs. This is especially needed for adults with ADHD and Autism, as well as individuals facing difficult challenges and/or adversity. The demands of life often force us to ignore or suppress our struggles.

Megan approaches therapy from a biopsychosocial lens, understanding that multiple factors blend together to make us who we are.

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.
