Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Essex Junction, VT
NOTE: I currently only have openings for therapy intensives. An intensive is one 4-hour session with 1-3 follow up sessions that focus on a specific issue or goal. Research shows 1 intensive can equate to 6-12 months of weekly therapy! If you've tried traditional weekly talk therapy and still feel stuck, or just want to feel better faster, an intensive might be right for you. I specialize in all things family - couples, parenting, postpartum, but I also work with motivated individuals on specific issues, especially trauma. See my website for more.

The challenges of cancer do not stop after treatment. The National Cancer Institute defines cancer survivorship as “focusing on the health and well-being of a person with cancer from the time of diagnosis until the end of life. This includes the physical, mental, emotional, social, and financial effects of cancer that begin at diagnosis and continue through treatment and beyond.” This resonates with me because it acknowledges the whole cancer journey and the unique concerns and needs of each individual as they change over time. Loved ones and caregivers are also impacted by cancer and are also a part of the survivorship experience.

Being a person is tough. You might be considering therapy because you’re feeling unsettled or not like yourself. You’re doubting yourself and replaying situations in your head. You’d like to bring more of who you are to your relationships, but maybe you've lost sight of who that person is. And you’re ready to find your way back to yourself. It's time to feel more ease and confidence in who you are and how you interact with the world.

With a warm, direct, and weight inclusive approach, I use CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and exposure to help you build skills that feel practical, personal, and possible to use each day.
Anxiety may keep your mind racing, make decisions feel overwhelming, or leave you exhausted from appearing fine. Food rules, guilt after eating, endless body checking, comparison, or fear of weight changes may consume your day. Depression may drain your motivation and make it hard to imagine feeling like yourself again. At Calm Blue Waters Counseling, I help teens and adults ages 16 through 64 understand the patterns keeping them stuck, build practical coping skills, and create a steadier relationship with their thoughts, emotions, food, and body. I provide online only therapy in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Vermont.

Life just isn't what you thought it would be. You sometimes wonder if your relationships bring you more pain than they do joy. It's hard to show others the real you, which leaves you feeling unseen, alone, and uncared for. Maybe you find yourself repeating patterns that sabotage your wellbeing. Does this sound familiar? If so, I would love to meet you! I pride myself on working with couples and individuals who, tired of living beneath their potential, are truly ready to face their struggles, move through the pain that's holding them back, and access the authentic love, connection and confidence they’ve been searching for.

Accepting new clients. Weekend and evening appointments available. Neurodiversity-affirming care and trauma treatment specialty. Social-justice focused.
Hi there! My name is Emily and I'm a therapist specializing in the intersection between neurodivergence (diagnosed or not) and identity, self-esteem, burnout, and trauma. I'm neurodivergent myself and am the author of the ADHD and Autism Unmasking Workbook. My clients often feel like they have never been loved or accepted for their genuine selves, and they have never been able to be honest about their needs. My work centers on the very real impact of those experiences.

A typical treatment plan may involve therapy sessions using CBT, DBT, and Brainspotting to identify triggers, develop coping skills, and set achievable goals.
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for something to change? I work with adults dealing with substance use, anxiety, depression, legal stressors, DUI-related concerns, relationship issues, and major life transitions. Sometimes you can look like you’re holding it together on the outside while privately feeling anxious, disconnected, ashamed, or unsure of what comes next. Maybe alcohol or other substances have become harder to manage. Maybe a legal situation or personal setback has shaken your confidence.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Therapy gives you space to be honest, get grounded, and start making real changes. My

Why am I struggling so bad? Its been long enough and I should be okay now, right? I want to move on and feel stuck. I don't have anyone who wants to hear my story and help me make sense if it.

Let’s be honest: being LGBTQ+ can be exhausting.
If you’re carrying minority stress, managing family dynamics, and trying to live authentically while still dealing with anxiety, past rejection, and feeling unseen in relationships—you're not alone.
When you’re stuck in a loop of isolation and emotional burnout, it can start to feel impossible to move forward. You deserve a space where you don’t have to explain or defend your identity.
I work with clients ready to heal from the past, embrace their authentic selves, and build a life they truly love.

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.
