Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment for individuals struggling with emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, and self-destructive behaviors. Originally developed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), DBT is now widely used to support individuals facing a variety of mental health challenges.

DBT is especially effective for people who experience intense emotions, relationship difficulties, suicidal thoughts, and self-harming behaviors. It teaches practical coping skills that help individuals manage distress, improve relationships, and build a more stable and meaningful life.

Conditions DBT Is Proven to Treat

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is supported by research as an effective treatment for:

• Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
• Chronic suicidal thoughts and self-injury
• Treatment-resistant depression
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Eating disorders (e.g., bulimia, binge eating disorder)
• Substance use disorders
• Adolescents with emotion regulation difficulties
• Anxiety disorders, particularly those linked to emotion dysregulation

Our team is composed of DBT-certified therapists, including credentials by the Linehan Board of Certification (DBT-LBC). This certification means we’ve met rigorous standards for delivering DBT with full fidelity to the evidence-based model—not just select components. We also offer DBT for Children (DBT-C). Clients can feel confident they are receiving comprehensive care tailored to their needs, especially if they are navigating high-risk behaviors or severe emotional challenges.

If you’re looking for a DBT therapist who provides compassionate, research-backed care, we’re here to help you develop the skills needed for meaningful and sustainable change.
