The Wise Mind Check In is a DBT skill that helps clients balance emotional thinking with logical thinking. To practice, pause and notice what your emotions are telling you, then consider what the facts of the situation are, and finally ask yourself what a calm and centered version of you would do next. This process strengthens decision making, emotional awareness, and self trust over time. Learn more DBT skills by visiting our website: https://thirahealth.com/

Boundaries are statements of our needs and limits, yet they can feel uncomfortable for people who are used to putting others first. DBT skills help clients identify their limits, tolerate the discomfort that can come with asserting them, and build healthier relationships rooted in self respect. Learning to set boundaries is not about rejecting others, but about honoring your own well being.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is grounded in the idea that two seemingly opposite truths can exist at the same time. DBT helps clients learn how to balance acceptance and change by recognizing what can be changed while practicing compassion for what cannot. This balance builds emotional resilience, clarity, and a stronger sense of self.

Healing is not meant to happen in isolation. Feeling accepted, supported, and understood can be a powerful part of mental health growth, and connection can come from many places: friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and therapeutic support.

In our latest blog, we share why interpersonal connection matters in the healing process and how DBT helps people build healthier relationships through individual therapy, skills groups, and family involvement.

Did You Know? Research shows that thriving couples tend to have about 5 positive interactions for every 1 negative interaction during conflict. That 5 to 1 balance often comes down to boundaries, respect, and staying grounded even in hard conversations.

DBT skills like FAST and GIVE can help you communicate more effectively, set healthy boundaries, and reduce conflict without losing connection or self-respect.

Valentine’s Day is a reminder that love is not only something we give to others. It is also how we speak to ourselves, how we set boundaries, and how we show up with compassion in the moments that feel hard.

Today, we’re celebrating every kind of love: connection, friendship, healing, and self-respect. You deserve support, safety, and relationships that help you grow.

We’re excited to welcome Dalena Nguyen as the Primary Therapist for THIRA’s new All-Gender, in-person Intensive Outpatient Program. Dalena brings a strong clinical background shaped by her work as a mental health therapist in the adolescent PHP at Seattle Children’s Hospital, where she supported teens and families through intensive, structured care.

In addition to her therapeutic work, Dalena has over seven years of combined experience in case management and patient advocacy at Harborview Medical Center and Seattle Children’s. This experience allows her to skillfully navigate complex systems of care while centering the needs, safety, and voices of her clients. She is deeply passionate about serving marginalized populations, reducing barriers to care, and destigmatizing mental health treatment, bringing both expertise and compassion into her work.

Dalena values authentic connection and often uses humor as a therapeutic tool to help clients feel at ease. Outside of THIRA, she enjoys playing video games, spending time with her two dogs, exploring new crafts and hobbies, and photography. We’re so grateful to have her expertise and warmth on our team!

Mindfulness is the act of focusing your attention on the present moment, without judgment of what is happening within and around you.

For people living with depression, mindfulness can be more than a calming practice. It can help reduce rumination, soften negative self-talk, improve emotional regulation, and create space between intense feelings and impulsive reactions. In DBT, mindfulness is a core pillar because it helps people stay present, build self-compassion, and move through distressing thoughts without getting stuck in them.

The Story of THIRA

In 1991, Dr. Moore founded The Moore Center (now Eating Recovery Center of Washington), the longest-established treatment center specializing in eating disorder treatment in the Pacific Northwest. In her many years of clinical experience she has worked with patients dealing with a wide variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and substance abuse, among others. These accomplishments are what has lead her to open THIRA Health. THIRA Health’s mission is to help adolescents and women work through traumatic life experiences and learn new coping skills. Soon after opening our doors Dr. Moore brought on Dr. Kathryn Korslund, as our Clinical Director. Having worked under Dr. Marsha Linehan during the development of DBT, Dr. Korslund has brought that expertise to THIRA, and has been a vital force in tailoring THIRA’s IOP and PHP programs following Dr. Linehan’s DBT guidelines. DBT has been proven to be an effective treatment for a wide variety of mental illnesses including but not limited to borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.
