What is DBT Therapy?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment that combines mindfulness with cognitive-behavioral techniques to help you manage emotions and build healthy coping mechanisms. It’s specifically designed to help those who experience intense emotions, find themselves in emotional turmoil, or struggle with relationship issues. If you’re looking for stress management and emotional regulation tools, DBT can help.
