Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based therapy focused on emotion awareness, acceptance, and regulation to help individuals find balance and improve their quality of life.

DBT provides both specific, change-oriented strategies and acceptance-based approaches to help individuals stop engaging in these behaviors, allowing the freedom to build a worthwhile life.

The 4 areas of focus are:

• mindfulness
• emotion regulation
• distress tolerance
• interpersonal effectiveness

DBT is effective in providing concrete coping skills to address mood dysregulation, anxiety and eating disorders.
