What is DBT?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment approach originally developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan. DBT combines cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques with mindfulness practices to help individuals regulate emotions, improve relationships, and reduce harmful behaviors.

DBT is especially effective for individuals who struggle with:

  • Intense emotional ups and downs
  • Anxiety or depression
  • Self-harming behaviors
  • Impulse control issues
  • Binge eating or emotional eating
  • Borderline personality disorder
  • Stress and overwhelm in daily life

At Choices Psychotherapy, we believe that DBT skills can benefit anyone who wants to feel more balanced, mindful, and in control.
