Six people sit in a circle having a discussion; one holds a clipboard, and others appear to be listening attentively—reflecting the supportive environment offered by Choices Psychotherapy mental health services.

At Choices Psychotherapy, we believe mental health care should be personal, compassionate, and focused on helping you feel better — not just teaching coping techniques. Our Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) programs in the Minneapolis, Chanhassen, St. Paul, Bloomington, and St. Louis Park areas offer individualized, evidence-based care designed to help you create real and lasting change.

A Personalized Approach to Healing

Every individual’s journey is unique — and your therapy should reflect that. At Choices, we take the time to understand your personal story, challenges, and goals. Our DBT therapists tailor your treatment plan to meet your specific needs, blending structure and flexibility so you can build practical skills that truly fit your life.
Whether you’re struggling with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or overwhelming stress, our DBT programs provide the tools and support you need to feel balanced and in control again.

More Than Skills – We Care About Real Change

While DBT focuses on skills like mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, true progress comes from compassion and connection. Our providers believe healing happens when you feel understood, supported, and empowered to take charge of your mental health.
At Choices Psychotherapy, we don’t just teach — we listen, guide, and walk with you every step of the way.

DBT can benefit anyone struggling with emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, self-destructive behaviors, or relationship difficulties. It’s also an effective treatment for those dealing with trauma, mood swings, or intense stress.

3. How do virtual DBT sessions work?
Our Virtual DBT Skills Group offers the same quality of care and skill-building as in-person sessions, with the added convenience of joining from home. Sessions are secure, interactive, and designed to build community and accountability.
