Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy, first developed in the 1980s by Marsha M. Linehan, to treat patients suffering from borderline personality disorder. Since then, DBT’s use has broadened and now it is regularly employed as part of a treatment plan for people struggling with behaviors or emotions they can't control. This can include eating disorders, substance abuse, self-harm, and more. DBT is a skills-based approach that focuses on helping people increase their emotional and cognitive control by learning the triggers that lead to unwanted behaviors. Once triggers are identified, DBT teaches coping skills that include mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. A therapist specializing in DBT will help you to enhance your own capabilities, improve your motivation, provide support in-the-moment, and better manage your own life with problem-solving strategies. Think this approach might work for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s DBT specialists today.

Our clients often have some significant challenges to overcome - depression, anxiety, problems with romantic partners or family, life changes, or internal struggles. And any trauma or loss doesn’t help. While therapy can mean confronting difficult feelings, it can also be a space for curiosity, creativity, and self-discovery, which many of our clients have described as rewarding and, believe it or not, exciting and fun. We welcome children and teens, adults, couples, and families.

I do my best work with the people most like my people; queer, trans, leftist at least, and usually anxious, often nonmonogamous. I work with individuals, dyads, triads, etc. I am particularly interested in trauma-work, disassociation, and navigating relational difficulties of any kind.
